<div style=""><span class="q"></span><div>While an original OSIS document may refer to a particular version of the Bible, I think that Sword will continue to allow the user to pick the Bible they want to use. For example, a commentary may be based on the RSV, which is not available as a Sword module, but the user, being German, may want to read the verses in German from their favorite German Sword module.
</div></div></blockquote><div><br>I also agree with you here, that in most cases bible references should be linked to the user's preferred bible module. My specific concern is for the rare instances of non-biblical modules referencing each other, or bibles referencing non-biblical modules.
<br><br>BTW, DM also wrote in a previous message "If I am not mistaken, Sword currently assumes that all osisRefs are to a<br>bible of the user's choice."<br>I'm pretty new to Sword, and I'm having a difficult time finding the line-of-demarcation between Sword and the various frontends. In analyzing BibleTime's source code, it seemed that BibleTime was handling almost everything to do with cross-references, and that BibleTime was making assumptions... but I can't see where or how Sword could make an assumption about an osisRef.
<br><br>Any clarification?<br><br>Thanks<br></div></div>
