[sword-devel] leningrad, av11n, xiphos

[Chris Little]

FWIW, lookup (the cmdline example program called lookup) works fine on 
LeningradV11N:

$ ./lookup.exe LeningradV11N "Haggai 1:1"
==Raw=Entry===============
Haggai 1:1:
Hag 1.1
==Render=Entry============
Hag 1.1
==========================
Entry Attributes:

I would be interested to hear whether Diatheke works as well (but don't 
have the time to check right now), because it is a similarly simplistic 
frontend.

The fact that lookup works tends to suggest that the problem here lies 
in the frontends' use of older/inflexible logic rather than in the 
library itself. And FWIW, BibleCS has similar behavior.

I would expect that the behavior you're seeing in Xiphos, MacSword, & 
BibleCS is precisely what we would expect frontends built on Sword <= 
1.5.11 (i.e. pre-av11n Sword) to show for av11n Bibles.
