[sword-devel] Strong tagging and Septuagint

[DM Smith]

In SWORD the various GlobalOptionFilter values indicate to the SWORD engine which pieces of code (filters) to enable. Same with some other entries in the conf.

In JSword, we don't have a filter architecture. We convert everything from the source type (ThML, Plaintext, GBF, ...) to OSIS. Then we use xslt to transform that into HTML. The xslt is passed what the user would like to see or not see. It doesn't really matter (so far) what is set in the module's conf.

This has one problem. Regarding Headings (aka Titles). They should always show in a commentary, as they should all be assumed to be canonical (properly part of the module) unless marked non-canonical.

Hope this clarifies.

In Him,
	DM
