Footnotes in bblx modules
#1

I would like to create MySword and e-Sword modules for a new web-based bible. This bible has some notes within the text as well as an introductory text for each of the 66 books. In MySword I will use translators notes for both of these, but I wonder if there is something comparable in e-Sword and how I would encode it in the module.
If e.g. a cross reference is named correctly, e-Sword will show the text in a tool tip. The same goes for Strong's dictionary references, but is there a way to do it for arbitrary text or am I obligated to make a separate cmtx module containing the notes and introductory text?
Regards,
Rob

Rob,
There IS a way to do it. Unfortunately, I don't know how. The latest NASB for e-Sword that I have has the footnotes tooltipped in the Bible file itself. I asked Josh about doing this once before, but at least at that point, he wasn't sure how it was done.
Sorry.

I was informed by the author of e-Sword that what is available in the new NASB will only work for premium modules. So it is a feature that has been disabled for user-made modules.

One would think there would have to be a workaround for that. Especially if one had the ability of encrypting one's modules.
Oh well...

Bit of a bummer, but it's not the end of the world.

I have asked him a couple times to release the spec's to the advanced bibles features
the only reason I can think of, it was a deal he made with the NASB people (BUT THAT IS MY OWN THOUGHTS)
study bible's would benefit greatly from these features one I can think of off had is the Newberry study bible

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.

I, for one, wouldn't mind not having to have my NET, HCSB, NKJV, etc... commentary tabs taking up space if I could get a version that had them all in the bblx file.
Of course, that'd almost double the size of some bblx files, I'd wager.
