[sword-devel] NA28 shows no verses

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hi Michael,

Our online study tools have some linkage to the NTVMR.

http://crosswire.org/study/parallelstudy.jsp?del=all&add=KJV&add=TR&add=Treg&add=NASB

Click on a word, then click: show textual evidence.

It also has the Manuscript Coverage tab which gets its data from Münster, as well. That tab has a nice slider on the right to adjust the data by century. Hover over a cell and you'll get details with direct links into the NTVMR at for the witness and taken directly to the chapter.

I don't know of other desktop apps who has added any integration, but Bishop's code is really simple here and would act as a good example:

See: the method in verseStudy:
variantGraph
witnessStudy
alignmentTable
dECMApp

Those will give you all the functions available from Bishop. witnessStudy sounds like the one you're after.

Regarding the NA28, I believe Bibletime reported things working well and I heard Karl was releasing (released?) a new version of Xiphos which should work too.

Hope this helps,

Troy
