[sword-devel] Headings, Titles and Intros

Thu Dec 17 16:18:21 MST 2009

Sorry, I usually ignore my many typos, but some of these are in code...
fixed below:
The API lets you set this material with code like:
> VerseKey *vk = (VerseKey *)module.getKey();
> vk->Headings(true);
> (*vk) = "jn.2.0";
> module.setEntry("Intro Text for John 2");
>   
These next 2 lines below were left over from the original message but
looked like it was part of my reply:
> The wiki mentions the <title/> tag and that it has to be placed right
> before the verse/chapter.

> ... each SWORD frontend has chapter display logic
> similar to:
>
>         VerseKey *key = (VerseKey *)currentText.getKey();
>         VerseKey saveKey = *key;
>
>         if (key->getVerse() != 1) {
>                 key->setChapter(0);
>         } else {
>                 key->setVerse(0);
>         }
>         SWBuf text = "<html><body>";
>         for (; key->getChapter() == saveKey->getChapter() && key->getBook() == saveKey.getBook() &&
> !currentText.Error(); currentText++) {
>
>              if (key->getVerse() == 0) {
>                  text += currentText.RenderText();    // intro material
>                  text += "<br/><br/>";
>                  continue;
>              }
>
>             // see if there are any pre-verse headings
>             SWBuf preverseHeading =
> currentText->getEntryAttributes()["Heading"]["Preverse"]["0"].c_str();
>             if (preverseHeading.length()) {
>                 text += "<br/><br/><b>";
>                 text += currentText.RenderText(preverseHeading); // do
> any tag conversions for our requested markup
>                 text += "</b><br/><br/>";
>             }
>
>             // render our verse number marker
>             text += "<font color=\"#0000ff\"><small>" + key->getVerse()
> + "</small></font>";
            // render verse body
            text += currentText.RenderText();
        }
        text += "</body></html>";
        textDisplay->setText(text);
        textDisplay->scrollToAnchor("curVerse");
        currentText->SetKey(saveKey);

    }

Hope this is helpful.
