[sword-devel] incorrect key normalization?

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Martin,

It should work as you suggest if headings is turned on for the VerseKey.  Well, almost as you suggest. You would get the pre-chapter material. Though the key would not normalize to gen.2.1, but instead gen.2.0.

It does not vary based on the module contents. Normalization happens mostly for programmatic navigation convenience, a crude e.g., but hopefully will show when it might be useful.

VerseKey vk = userInput;
vk.Verse(vk.Verse() - 3);
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
  vk++;
  // display something
}

Think struct tm or java.util.Calendar.

Let me know if you find that turning on headings doesn't work to show chapter intro material, as you describe.
