What I've used in BPBible in a few places is Name - Description (i.e. ESV - English Standard Version). The abbreviation at the start (hopefully) means that if the rest is cut of it shouldn't matter too much.<br><br clear="all">
God Bless,<br>Ben<br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Multitudes, multitudes,<br> in the valley of decision!<br>For the day of the LORD is near<br> in the valley of decision.<br>
<br>Giôên 3:14 (ESV)<br><br>

Actually, there's a module with an even longer Description. "Practice" has:<br>
<br>
The Practice of the Presence of God: The Best Rule of Holy Life by Brother Lawrence (Nicholas Herman, 1605-1691)<br>
<br>
Gosh, that's annoyingly long.<br>

</div>About and About? I think you meant Description and About.<br>
<br>
Contents of About aren't supposed to contain HTML, notwithstanding that<br>
it happens to work. That content is formally RTF. You'll see a lot of<br>
\par and so forth in *.conf About fields.<br>

<br>
</div>Because that's the way it's been since The Dawn Of Net.Time, which was<br>
way back when Terry first did it. :-D<br>
<br>
Seriously, no one's ever asked about it before.<br>
<br>
It could certainly be reasonable to update module selection widgets to<br>
use Description instead of the [BracketedName]; but I wonder about<br>
possible confusion because [BracketedName] is guaranteed to be unique<br>
but Description is not, and considering the selection of Description<br>
used at e.g. bible.org...<br>
<br>
Free version of NET Bible Footnotes with limited notes<br>
Free version of New English Translation with limited notes<br>
NET Bible Footnotes presented in the form of a commentary.<br>
New English Translation text only with footnote markers<br>
<div class="im"> New English Translation with over 60,000 translator, study and text critical notes<br>
<br>
</div>...with so much similarity from one to another, I worry that the user<br>
won't get the connection, and especially that he won't grasp the<br>
difference when tabs have [BracketedNames] (for minimal length purposes)<br>
that would then be seen pretty much nowhere else. Also, at the moment,<br>
I've got DM's (old) beta "NASB" and Troy's (new) beta "NASBnew"...<br>
<br>
New American Standard Bible<br>
New American Standard Bible (NEW)<br>
<br>
...whose minor change is almost unnoticeable and could lose the "(NEW)"<br>
the next time Troy puts out an update.<br>
<br>
I'm open to opinion about the problem, of course.<br>
