e-Sword Version:
9.x - 10.x

Revision: 10/17/2013 - Corrected Chapters 1-3 not appearing in the bookmark/table of contents sidebar, making navigation all but impossible.
Revision: 10/5/2013 for .2.10 - Most portions of the manual have been re-written.

This 120+ page User's Guide explains, step-by-step, how to make e-Sword modules with Tooltip NT. In the "How to Turn Text into Modules" chapter, simple examples are used with non-technical language. The guide assumes no prior knowledge of Tooltip and introduces basic concepts like Tooltipping. More advanced topics are also explained. A basic knowledge of e-Sword is presumed.

Rather than just explain what a feature does in an abstract way, I've tried to apply the features to real life situations, so that you, the module maker, understand what's happening with the text.

I strived to show the relationships between features and commands more clearly. I used internal bookmarks/hyperlinks to cross reference the commands and how they work together (or do not work together). I've also documented behavior found in Tooltip that will come as a surprise to even experienced module makers. It's important to understand the specifics so you can understand how your text will be impacted.

I give thanks for the EXCELLENT e-Sword Tooltip NT and for the help files to use it. This is allowing non-expert types the opportunity to make contributions to the e-Sword community. A little bit of time and patience is all that's required to start making e-Sword modules. This is also a way of serving the Lord, so THANKS for the opportunity.
A question regarding "Converting Roman Numerals to Digits"
It will not work for me.
Here is an example of my text: "Kiss the Son (Ps ii 12) and embrace the tenders of mercy; touch His sceptre and live; for why will ye die? I do not beg for myself, but would have you happy: this is the prize I run for. My soul's desire and prayer for you is, that you may be saved (Rom x 1)."
I highlight it, go to Edit-->Roman 3 (or 1 or 2) and nothing happens...am I doing it correctly?

T4 expects some form of punctuation between the Chapter Roman numeral, and the verse number. You example is not one the the 3 forms that is programmed.

Sweet, now I understand

I found the help files of great use on most topics.. I wish they went into more depth in other areas. Overall, excellent help files for a very good program. 

my question is how can i open an existing Dcti bbli with tool tip 1.68?

T4 will not open existing iPad modules.  I have no current plans to add this.

when will you release a new documetation for tool tip 1.76

Documentation updated with the release of ToolTip NT 2.10

will you please Guide a translation of the Spanish?
