Hi there .......

something that suits the problem, and I'm not convinced Genbook does.

I think there may be a lack of understanding here: GenBook is poroposed as using the new versetreekey code which presents to the frontend just like a text module that uses versekey. I have not had time to get involved over the last few months, but Troy has made quite a few commits to SVN in this area and the new class ought to be 'almost' working. (Troy?)

With regard to synchronisation, I made proposals a year or so ago for embedding synch. tags into verses (in similar manner to the current x-ref tags). I suggested that the tag be '-1' where the chapter/verse is the same as KJV (this will be the norm for the majority of any bible version). Anything else would carry appropriate refs. In my view, we need to cross-reference to three systems (in the main) Chris will be quick to point out that there are at least six. The main three as I see it, are: kjv+apocrypha, Vulgate (used in most Catholic bibles), and lxx

I think if all three of the above were catered for, we would be on the right lines and the front end could pick out the appropriate one for the current module as it would be shown in the module's .conf file. From the corss-ref, it would be simple to show the paralell verse in a module using a different canonical structure.

I'm happy to enlarge on the suggested tagging idea if anyone wants to think it through.
