[sword-devel] Personal commentary -- internal scripture xrefs

[Ben Morgan]

Surely personal commentaries can be created in code - rather than sending
the user off to download them? Also, I presume GS doesn't allow user created
dictionaries? (the ordering requirement could be a pain for users anyway).

Just out of interest, do journals/prayer lists have any "extra"
functionality - like reminders, dates, etc. or are they just plain genbooks?

Alternate versification could have interesting implications for personal
commentaries...

God Bless,
Ben
