I have a couple of questions I haven't found easy to find answers to about module building

I hope you can help

 

I don't thing e-Sword deals well with Bibles that merge verses to make translation better

in NEB for example there are a couple of examples in Genesis where a verse might be stated as 21-22 or something like that

How should that be stored?  with arbitrary splitting by the compiler? or is there an internal thing that deals with it I've not read about?

 

Is there a preferred (by a majority) way of dealing with headings.

By this I mean the none-scriptural headings that many Bibles add to sections of their printed Bibles.

By this I mean a preferred

a) space before - or not

font of heading

c) colour of heading

d) horizontal position of heading

e) spacing after heading

f) horizontal position of next line - the real text

 

or anything else - you know what I mean

 

I've even seen some that seem to put the heading in the previous verse unless it's at the start of a chapter - looks better tbh

 

What is the opinion - I'm relatively new - been using esword for ages but not compiled a bible before.

In addition - my new tool I'd like a user to choose a layout that it will carry through ANY module they put together (if they choose to do so)

And I'd like to know a default tbh

 

Any opinion on any part of this would be appreciated

 

Thanks and God bless you all for reading this - as a noob at doing this it's much appreciated you even read it

Also, sorry about this

 

If you have a Bible module that has Apocrypha - how are all the books numbered?

Are Apocrypha modules in the middle to produce, for example a Revelation that is bigger than 66?

Or are they at the end, allowing the eSword client to deal with it, the first starting at 67?

 

If there is a doc about this basic stuff I've not seen it.

I've read much other stuff but not seen the answer to my basic questions - I expect it's my lazy reading. If so, I'm sorry

Do you know about Tooltip NT By Brent H. its by far the best tool for module creation
