Can you provide an example? Is there an existing module that shows the
sort of problem you describe?
</pre>

Yes, I can. I can send the module compiled or just osis or both
privately. Just let me know that you want it, and I will send it. The
module is in the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:modules@crosswire.org">modules@crosswire.org</a> inbox waiting for action, but
there are a number of problems with it that I haven't been able to
solve. Actually, aside from the book introductions, GS handles the
module the best out of all the front-ends. <br>

<pre wrap="">Third, the way Sword handles commentaries right now is fine if you're
looking at a single verse and the commentary is dealing with a single
verse, but often commentaries give comments on the structure or
theology of a section or comment on a range of verses in a single
paragraph or section. I am wondering if there is a way to have a more
dynamic and continuous way to view commentaries so if you open to
Genesis 1:1 you can just scroll down a bit to see Genesis 1:2

Are you aware that you can specify verse ranges?

Yes, I was aware of that. What I was getting at is a combination of
content unconnected to a verse or range of verses (such as introductory
matter in a commentary), content connected to a range of verses, and
content connected to a single verse all in one work. This kind of
content should be preserved as one work, in my opinion, but how do you
encode something like that? <br>

<pre wrap="">The commentary/image module DoreWoodcutsCom (verse-keyed version of
DoreWoodcuts, able to be used as a sort of graphical commentary) is
import-encoded like this:
$$$Gen 3:1-24
Adam And Eve Are Driven Out Of Eden
<br /><img src="/images/dore_01_gen03_adam_and_eve_are_driven_out_of_eden.jpg"/>
$$$Gen 4:1-7
Cain And Abel Offer Their Sacrifices
<br /><img src="/images/dore_01_gen04_cain_and_abel_offer_their_sacrifices.jpg"/>
$$$Gen 4:8-26
Cain Slays Abel
<br /><img src="/images/dore_01_gen04_cain_slays_abel.jpg"/>
The 1st covers the entirety of Gen 3. The 2nd covers the beginning of
Gen 4, the 3rd covers the rest of Gen 4.
This is the idea behind what I mentioned as "fast" and "slow"
commentaries: The fast side is per-verse commentary, relating directly
to translation, text-critical observations, and related matters. The
slow side is prose discussion of larger sections. As verses change,
the slow commentary would not change until the verse boundary is passed
when the next big section comes along.

The idea of multiple types of content being preserved in multiple types
of windows is a good step beyond where commentaries are today, but I
guess I would just be interested to see how we can preserve the
integrity of the original work while at the same time not making it a
coding nightmare. <br>
