I downloaded and installed TooTip NT .95 and have created a .topx file but cannot seem to get the tooltips scripture references to work.  The abbr.txt file that is supposed to be there is not there. There is also not one in e-Sword.  How can I find out what the defaults are for e-Sword along with whatever syntax is necessary to make it work?  I also am interested in the Bible Study Textbooks (Green books) from College Press.

Thanks  It worked, at least partially.  Some seem to be colored but not working.  May be a format problem.

Unless I am wrong (and I could be....) a Tool Tipped reference is so, only because of the way the text is formatted.

 

Gen_1:1 is tool tipped not because of the color, not because of the underlined text, but because you have a 3 letter book reference, follow by an underscore character, followed by chapter, colon, and verse.   Gen_1:1  is just as valid. If by abbr you are referring to the first 3 letters of the verse, there is an internal list that ToolTip NT looks at and uses to format all scripture references when you choose the menu choice Scripture->ToolTip. The tool tip program also automatically changes (spelling corrects) the reference for you so that e-Sword then recolonizes a valid scripture (book) name.

 

The only time you would actually see a separate list (file) is if you use an external list instead of the internal one and you have to tell (set up) the ToolTip NT program to use that list.

 

Also as a hint, for the tool-tipped reference to work (show the pop-up) that specific scripture has to be available in the active bible. If you are trying to access an Old Testament verse (via a tool tip) and you have a New Testament only bible displayed in the bible window, nothing will pop up.

 

Hope this helps,

Roy

I agree with Roy as this seems to be the most likely answer
