<font face="FreeSerif">Xiphos has a feature, "commentary
by chapter," so that whole commentary chapters are
displayed along with whole Bible chapters, and then the
verse is tracked visually in the commentary pane, but in
a different manner from the Bible pane (i.e. current
verse always aligned to top, plus a preceding horizontal
rule). It's a UI issue IMO, not an engine issue. If
you explicitly list the verse range covered in your
markup, then I imagine you might get the effect you want
in other UIs.<br>
<br>
Up to this time, Xiphos' commentary by chapter has not
been default, and I wonder if I should make it so in the
future.<br>

<div>I think so. Since Bibles are by chapter, it makes sense
to have commentaries as well, but :<br>

<p>A commentary view in frontends, as Karl mentioned, might be a
good thing.</p>
<p>I still don't understand why the OSIS reference
"Gen.1.1-Gen.1.19" is interpreted as "Gen.1.1" only! Again, why
this behavior? It seems not logical for me. Are commentaries in
OSIS only verse by verse?<br></p></div></blockquote><div>I think your problem comes from a two-fold issue:</div><div><br></div><div>1) Commentaries are typically done verse-by-verse in front end displays. This is a UX decision and can be argued both for and against.<br></div><div>2) OSIS documents - particularly Bibles - can have a single entry that represents multiple verses. This is common in both commentaries and paraphrase translations. But most front ends likely use the same code to handle both, because Sword handles them exactly the same. There, because Bibles would look weird if the same text was repeated in 2 or more consecutive verses, any range values are skipped for subsequent values not at their start.</div><div><br></div><div>So what you are seeing is a bug in the front ends. If they are going to display verse-by-verse commentary then they would need to NOT employ the skip-linked-text code that their Bible display uses.</div><div><br></div><div>Your module is likely encoded correctly. The Sword engine seems to be operating correctly. You will need to file a bug with the various front ends that are not displaying the module well to either change their UX like Karl says he did for Xiphos or to fix the linked verse display bug that they seem to be suffering from.</div><div><br></div><div>--Greg<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>
</p>
<p>And issues are still there:</p>
<p>- A commentary like "Gen.7.17-Gen.8.5" (in FreCJE = Day by Day,
by J. Koechlin in French) will only be shown at chapter 7, isn't
it? I should also use a "hack" and put an OSIS reference like ""Gen.7.17
Gen.8.1" (not use continuous reference notation).<br>
</p>
<p>- It would be impossible to highlight properly the commentary as
you mentioned (if I understood correctly).<br>
</p>
<p>This is again my 2 cents.<br>
