End users would think that in the book the reference would refer to that book not another. The SWORD engine never picks Judith. I don't remember what it picks. JSword will pick Jude. I shouldn't have used Judith. (Woke people up, huh?) So lets use a different hypothetical, a module has "Ma 1:1" as a cross reference in the book of Malachi. To what should it resolve? The point of the example is that a book reference in a module that is ambiguous is just plain bad. -- DM _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
