Variants handled incorrectly

Here is an email thread between Troy and Will on the subject.
Will, that almost looks alright. The options are:

All Readings
Primary Reading
Secondary Reading

note the plural/singular difference.

You might want to just grab the available feature set and valid choices from the engine, which is how most frontends (besides Bibletime ) use the engine. Here is a code snippet from BibleCS:

StringList options = mainmgr->getGlobalOptions();
for (StringList::iterator it = options.begin(); it != options.end(); it++) {
TMenuItem *newitem = new TMenuItem(MainMenu1);
newitem->Caption = it->c_str();
newitem->Default = false;
newitem->OnClick = OptionShowVals;
newitem->Hint = mainmgr->getGlobalOptionTip(it->c_str());
StringList values = mainmgr->getGlobalOptionValues(it->c_str());
for (StringList::iterator it2 = values.begin(); it2 != values.end(); it2++) { TMenuItem *newitem2 = new TMenuItem(MainMenu1); newitem2->Caption = it2->c_str(); newitem2->Default = false; newitem2->OnClick = GlobalOptionChange; newitem->Add(newitem2); }
// optionsMenu->Add(newitem);
}

The first variant is in Matthew 1:9.

<seg type="x-variant" subType="x-class:1">
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχας</w>
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχας</w>
</seg>
<seg type="x-variant" subType="x-class:2">
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχαζ</w>
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχαζ</w>
</seg>

(that's the OSIS rendering)

It's not a typo, though it looked to me like one, at first. The name Achaz (or Achas) is repeated twice (... begat Achaz, Achaz begat ...)

You'd modify thmlhtmlhref filter to add the code I gave you in my last message to handle the ThML and output something useful for you.

Hope this helps,

The last one will send both words to you and will look funny if they aren't marked up differently. I'd have to know what filter you are using for ThML rendering. Anyway, here is an excerpt of code from the thmlosis filter that catches them when converting thml to osis. You can probably use this same logic and replace:

I have fixed the problem of alternate readings showing up. Only the one that is x-class:1 will show.

I am moving this to 1.1 because there is more that can be done. Specifically, the alternates should be displayed. This can either be done as if it were a note. Or it could be done as a "view" choice.

Fixed the problem of variants in OSIS files not showing up. Now ThML and OSIS produce the same representational input to xslt.

The problem that remains is a front-end one.
