Just one thing, make certain that your Hebrew Bible is set to read Right to Left. As you have it at the moment, as per your screenshots, it reads left to right, which is wrong.
 
As to wrapping text, it can't be done. See my post below as to the reason.

 

The thing is columns in tables can't be wrapped.

The verse table data that my module is using was already ordered rigidly Left to Right.  One would have to create some sort of amazing sorting algorithm to resort the table data of each verse, as encoded in HTML, in each row of the SQLite database table in order to switch every row's table cell data to Right to Left.  A Right to Left toggle can work fine on linear text, but isn't going to reverse the order of table cells.

 

You may be technically correct that I can't enter information into a row of an SQLite database table that will result in self-wrapping columns in tables.  Fortunately that capability is programmed into e-Sword for Windows and the software wraps the columns in tables for me (see attached screenshot).

 

As you pointed out, e-Sword for Windows doesn't have a horizontal scrollbar, which was the point of my question and efforts--to work around the lack of a horizontal scrollbar and still gain full functionality from the data in a multi-layer interlinear Bible module.

Ahhh! OK. I see. No wonder why no one ever tried to use a table for Hebrew in a Hebrew Bible in the way you want to do it. Seriously!

 

I have an idea, but as to how well that might work out is anyone's guess. See if you can find a Rabbi or Jew who is into Computers and is well versed in Hebrew, and see if you can pick his brains to find out how this can be accomplished. Reason being they would use Database apps, Spreadsheets, and Tables in a word processor, which does things Right to Left. And all the data they enter in, all reads right to left.

 

So, I think it can be done, but its just a case of finding the right bloke, whose brains you can pick, to show you how to do it. Then everything should be kosher.

Clearly technology has not improved since this time. Horizontal scrolling worked, and all the data wrapped just fine.

 

 

17 And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: 

Luke 4:17-NASB2020

One way of doing footnotes for a multi-layer interlinear Bible module.  See Matthew 1:23 with the footnote tag embedded in the verse, and the actual footnote placed below the verse.
