<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As we're all aware, the SWORD engine renders in <i>italics</i> text enclosed with a <b>transChange</b> element.<br>

Yet not all Bible translations are in a script that supports italics!</div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">IIRC, it was once suggested that Chinese modules that use <b>CJK ideograms</b> might possibly be render such text using <u>dotted underline</u>.<br><br>Has this requirement ever been considered by developers?</div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">What about <b>Thai</b> for example? <br><br>Were the translator to mark up added words in the <b>ThaiKJV</b> using <b>transChange</b>, how ought this text be suitably displayed in such a way as to make it appear <i>gently</i> distinct?<br><br>One possibility might be to render the text in a <span style="color: rgb(144, 144, 144);"><b>grey font</b></span> rather than a <b>black font</b>, but any such change of colours also has to figure what to do when it's part of the words of Christ in a Red Letter Edition.<br><br>Has there ever been a detailed technical discussion on this topic?<br><br>I hadn't hitherto asked Philip Pope whether the <b>ThaiKJV</b> FoxPro database contains semantic indicators for <i>words added by the translators</i>, but as the translation is made <u>from the KJV</u> rather than from the original languages, it does seem to me to be quite pertinent.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
