<body>As David has said, please be careful about your syntax between osisID and osisRef. osisID="Gen.7.17-Gen.8.5" is invalid. This would be a valid osisRef.<br><br>osisIDs are how you assign text to a verse entry in SWORD. osisIDs do not take ranges; they take lists.<br><br>Don't duplicate:<br>As Fr. Cyrille has pointed out, SWORD supports entry linking. So, you don't need to duplicate anything, just supply all the verses to which an entry should be associated.<br><br>Entries won't repeat in display is done right:<br>As Greg points out, SWORD has an iteration feature called skipConsecutiveLinks which is turned on by default for commentaries. This allows iterating over, say, a chapter, and only getting one occurrence for each entry which is linked to consecutive verses.<br><br>Having said all of this, depending on the utility used to import your module, some are more lenient than others. Some likely just send the osisID to SWORD's verse parser which will parse a range, so you might get lucky. But if you want things to always work, then you should encode your module correctly.<br><br>OSIS also includes an osisRef type attribute for commentaries called annotateRef which indicates that the element contains commentary text for a verse range. I wouldn't be surprised if DM already supports this in osis2mod, but I wouldn't count on it without checking.<br><br>Hope this clears some things up,<br><br>Troy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On June 1, 2020 6:29:07 AM MST, yvand <yvand.sword@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<font face="FreeSerif">Xiphos has a feature, "commentary
by chapter," so that whole commentary chapters are
displayed along with whole Bible chapters, and then the
verse is tracked visually in the commentary pane, but in
a different manner from the Bible pane (i.e. current
verse always aligned to top, plus a preceding horizontal
rule). It's a UI issue IMO, not an engine issue. If
you explicitly list the verse range covered in your
markup, then I imagine you might get the effect you want
in other UIs.<br>
<br>
Up to this time, Xiphos' commentary by chapter has not
been default, and I wonder if I should make it so in the
future.<br>

<div>I think so. Since Bibles are by chapter, it makes sense
to have commentaries as well, but :<br>

<p>A commentary view in frontends, as Karl mentioned, might be a
good thing.</p>
<p>I still don't understand why the OSIS reference
"Gen.1.1-Gen.1.19" is interpreted as "Gen.1.1" only! Again, why
this behavior? It seems not logical for me. Are commentaries in
OSIS only verse by verse?<br>
</p>
<p>And issues are still there:</p>
<p>- A commentary like "Gen.7.17-Gen.8.5" (in FreCJE = Day by Day,
by J. Koechlin in French) will only be shown at chapter 7, isn't
it? I should also use a "hack" and put an OSIS reference like ""Gen.7.17
Gen.8.1" (not use continuous reference notation).<br>
</p>
<p>- It would be impossible to highlight properly the commentary as
you mentioned (if I understood correctly).<br>
</p>
<p>This is again my 2 cents.<br>
