[sword-devel] Headings, titles and chapter descriptions

[David Haslam]

*Headings* is too broad an object type to cope with what modules may actually
contain at the start of each chapter.

SWORD needs to distinguish between *Chapter Titles* and *Chapter
Descriptions*.

In printed Bibles, *Chapter Titles* are normally bold text and typically
without italics.
SWORD always displays titles with a larger text size than verse text.

*Chapter Descriptions* are normally in italics and either normal or smaller
text size compared to verse text.
They should certainly not be displayed in bold. It looks ugly to do so
because these typically take up multiple lines.

*Chapter Descriptions* often contain verse numbers or ranges before each
part of the description for the corresponding passage.

It would also be a useful enhancement for such references to be transformed
into links that could enable the user to jump straight to the start of the
passage. OSIS can support this.

These thoughts are prompted by viewing the latest two new Danish Bible
modules, and also by past discussions with DM Smith about possible future
enhancements to our KJV module.



Best regards,

David
