We plan to have this ready for our next release<br>

This is the most fantastic exciting news. I've been carefully following all Troy's and your recent svn commits. Thanks for all the great work.<br>

It's all coming along very nicely, and I should be able to make an announcement and post some example content using a non-KJV versification "Real Soon Now".<div></div></blockquote><div>Can I please plead not to have this in this release? Please? I want to see a release. Currently trunk seems relatively stable for usual modules, so I'd like to see a release (once a couple of patches of mine have been committed...) <br>
<br>A major problem with alternate versification is there currently isn't any way to map between different versification schemes - which is very important for parallel views, etc. Also, quite a lot of code assumes things like 2 testaments - I'd like to give these a little time to migrate.

On another issue: I've just sent Matthew Talbert my Phillips NT module to demonstrate verse linking. What available modules use this? And is it Sword policy to stay with linked verses? Xiphos and BibleDesktop don't handle them - Matthew had no idea they existed! BibleCS handles them OK and so does BibleTime so something needs to be clarified somewhere if they are to be supported. Maybe you could clarify on all the lists?<br>

If I recall correctly, there's something broken about verse linking at the moment (possibly just an osis2mod bug) but we will definitely be keeping it in SWText/SWCom-based content (which is almost all Bibles & commentaries). I couldn't tell you which specific modules use linking, but I would guess it might be used to some degree (often sporadically or seldom) in about 10% of our library. It's really just a function of the API as it is intended to be used. That is, while iterating through a module with ++, you're really iterating through unique entries rather than through sequential verse refs.<font color="#888888"></font><br>
</blockquote></div>It's not quite this simple - at least if you want to do it properly. Firstly, bibles have this turned off by default (this is the *only* difference I can see between swcom and swtext apart from comments... otherwise all the code looks like it has been duplicated) . Secondly, you don't get proper verse numbers.<br>
I've just been making bpbible so that it handles linked verses, so it now shows verse numbers like 1-3, 5-6, etc.<br><br>It seems to happen in commentaries, but I haven't seen it in Bibles (except for the test ones I have generated).<br>
