Re: [sword-devel] Sidebars

[Michael H]

I suggested off-list that the text of the sidebars be moved to the
introduction of each book, and a cross reference to the new location be
maintained where it originally appeared.

I do like the multi module idea, but with some texts the license may be
stretched with this presentation, unless there is a good way to import all
parts from a catalog listing at one time. That is where sidebars form part
of a work (singular) breaking them into an alternate work may violate the
terms of not just the license to crossfire, but also the sidebar content
typically is separately authored and copyrighted, and the license to the
authors may have restrictions.

NET's extensive footnotes, though paper-published inline, are offered as 
a separate commentary module, which works quite well.

Re: [sword-devel] Sidebars

A study Bible with extensive sidebars is really two books presented in 
parallel: The Holy Bible and a commentary. The best way to do it for electronic 
presentation is exactly that, as two volumes that get presented together.

You can try to shoehorn sidebars into the same USFM as the Bible text itself 
using some USFM 3.0 features, but those are not well supported in publication 
paths.
