I could almost swear that there is support in at least some front ends already for linking from a <scripRef> entity. Doesn't Bibletime support that? I thought that it was working this summer when I was working with several ThML texts. Maybe I was thinking of some one of the prototype implementations we were working with. Implementation in the RTF-based BibleCS, though...? I've never tried it.

Hi there .........<br><br>Some of us are doing a feasibility study on the NET bible from<br><a href="http://www.bible.org/">http://www.bible.org/</a> with a view to offering a Sword module. The NET<br>bible comes with a massive set of footnotes. In the present incarnation
<br>of Sword (certainly in the Windows front end) the use of such extensive<br>footnoting would make the version difficult to follow. There are often<br>many footnotes in a single verse.<br><br>One solution, suggested I think by Chris Little was to make the front
<br>end capable of displaying footnotes in a separate window from the bible<br>text. An alternative is to make the notes into a commentary module,<br>with the footnotes in the text neing represented by footnote numbers.<br>
If this second alternative were considered, is it possible to link these<br>footnote numbers to the commentary window? What I'm looking for is<br>linking that looks up tags in commentaries like scripture references<br>embedded in a commentary - as an example - <scripRef>John 1:3</scripRef>
<br>in a ThML tagged commentary.<br><br>Do we have provision for this in the filters?<br><br>God bless,<br><br>Barry<br><br>-- From Barry Drake (The Revd) minister of the Netherfield United Reformed church, Nottingham see
