Example:

Book of [x]

This is a summary of the Book of [x].  The consensus belief is that it was written by [writer of "x"] around [such-and-such a date].  Several main themes of [x] are... [other introductory text]

 

[Summary of x, chapter 1]

[Summary of x 1:1-5]

x 1:1 [Text of verse]

x 1:2 [Text of verse]

x 1:3 [Text of verse]

x 1:4 [Text of verse]

x 1:5 [Text of verse]

[Summary of x 1: 6-10]

x 1:6 [Text of verse]

....

[Summary of x, chapter 2]

[Summary of x: 1-10]

etc.

 

Does e-Sword support the addition of such summaries/introductory material?

If so, can one use ToolTip Tool NT to add them?

In tooltiptool NT, do the following:

 

÷÷÷Matthew

Introduction to Matthew

 

÷÷Matthew 2

Summary of Matthew chapter two

 

÷Matthew 2:15

Notes on Matthew 2:15

 

The ÷ symbol can be inserted in ToolTipTool by clicking ctrl-m for one, and ctrl-alt-shift-m for each additional one.

 

I hope that is helpful

Evidently, I'm still missing something here.  I won't put the actual text in here, because I can't recall if the particular version allows distribution (if I can get the module to work, I'll check, though... and even if I can't, the info might come in handy for another time).  BTW, this is for a bblx, not a cmtx, so does that matter?  Also, I'm trying to mimic as closely as I can the version's structure, which is why I've included the "The Gospel  of Matthew" and "Chapter 1" lines.

#HR# = hard return (Enter)

#SR# = soft return (SHIFT + Enter)

 

#define description=Generic Bible Version#HR#
#define abbreviation=GBV#HR#
#define comments=Yeah, I just made that name up.#HR#
#define version=1#HR#
#define strong=0#HR#
#define right2left=0#HR#
#define ot=0#HR#
#define nt=1#HR#
#define font=DEFAULT#HR#
#define apocrypha=0#HR#
÷÷÷Matthew#SR#

Gospel of Matthew Info#SR#

#SR#
This is information about the Gospel of Matthew, such as who it was written by (like, someone named Matthew, maybe?) and an approximate time#SR#

#SR#

The Gospel of Matthew#HR#
÷÷Matthew 1#SR#
Chapter 1#SR#

#SR#

Chapter 1 summary#HR#

÷Matthew 1:1 A list of Jesus' ancestors, including not only David, but Abraham as well.#HR#

Matthew 1:2 ....#HR#

Are you trying to build a Bible module or a Commentary module?   Your #define variables are for a Blble, but your structure if that of a Commentary.  If you are building a Commentary, then you do not need to have all the soft breaks, also known as vertical tabs, all the division marks set off the sections.   If you are building a Bible, then your whole structure is wrong.  Can you clarify what it is you are trying to build?

May God change our hearts to what the truth is

2Ti_2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Rom_9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

2Ti 2:24-25  And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

If you're trying to insert that into a Bible text, then you use ALL soft breaks until you enter the next verse.  Each new verse must start with a hard break.  In the Bible formatting, a hard break basically means "new verse."

 

÷[Matthew]#hardbreak

1:1 notes on the book#SOFTBREAK
notes on the chapter#SOFTBREAK

notes on the section#SOFTBREAK

#SOFTBEAK

verse itself#HARDBREAK

1:2

 

etc...

 

Perhaps that makes more sense.  I was thinking commentary file.

Wouldn't that make the book's format appear like this in e-Sword:

Matthew 1:1 notes on book

notes on chapter

notes on section

 

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

 

rather than (much preferable):

 

Notes on book

notes on chapter

notes on section

Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

?

 

Or is the second format not possible in e-Sword?

What you want to do is build 2 modules.  #1 a Bible module, and #2, a commentary module.

It's not possible in a Bible format, since everything in a bblx file MUST be part of a verse.
