Titles in the Bible Texts


flips

Recommended Posts

Hi!

When reading my paper versions of HCSB, NKJV and others, I have these titles (e.g. "Parable of the Lost Sheep") in the text.

 

But when I read the same bible text in Accordance, I don't see these titles. I can see why having these titles inline in the electronic text can make indexing and search more complicated. But I was wondering if maybe the software engineers had found a way of including these titles without messing up indexing/searching and quoting

You are correct that the Bible texts don't really allow for headings or anything other than the reference and the text itself. Where the heading are supplied to us in the etext, we try to extract them and include them in the Notes file that comes with most translations. Unfortunately, I don't see many of them in a quick scan through all the Notes files.

 

We should have a major update to the HCSB very soon, and an optional upgrade to HCSBS with Strong's numbers, and I know the Notes have significant improvements.

Thanks for your quick reply! :)

 

It would be cool with a feature to turn on/off these headers, but I understand it might prove challenging technically ...

Yes, I was looking for those headers (browsed through Luke 8 and 9 and checked the notes to HCSB, NKJV, ESV, NASB95, NLT-SE), but didn't see any ...

 

But I'm looking forward to the HCSB update, and hope I'll be able to get the upgrade to HCSBS soon ... :)

If the major update contains the new 2009 HCSB text, I'm hoping it will have a different file name for comparison with the old edition. If not, I suppose I could hold off updating the plain HCSB module and simply compare it to the HCSBS.

Is the 2.0 version of the HCSB text module a major update of the text, like NLT vs NLTse? (Any reason to preserve the 1.3 version?)

Rick blogged on the text today.

 

Oh, thanks! :)

I think I will keep the 1.3 HCSB for a while, at least. Or maybe I can somehow rename the old module to HCSB_13 or something?

 

Be blessed,

And, by the way, is there an appropriate forum for discussing the changes between HCSB 2004 and HCSB 2009, either here or maybe on forums on the publisher website or something? (By changes I mean f.ex. the brackets disappearing, "tounges" being changed to "languages" and so on ...)

I've found various blogs on the topic, but I find it better to follow forum threads/topics (or newsgroups/usenet) than various comments on different blogs here and there ...
