Tim Mitchell Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 There are two conventional ways of abbreviating Bible book names starting with numerals, using either Arabic (1,2,3) or Roman (I,ii,III) numerals. My own habit is to use Roman numerals, without thinking about it, which then brings up a 'cannot be found' message. This is tiresome, especially when preaching on I Kings! The search bar only recognises Arabic numerals. It would be very helpful if the algorithm that processes the text entered in the search bar (verses, not words) would auto-correct 'i','ii','iii','I','II','III' (where followed by a space) to '1','2','3'. That would preserve Accordance's own convention (Arabic) while removing a continual nagging hindrance to some of us. I believe this would be more 'Mac-like' behaviour, because it represents an adaptation to natural user behaviour. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kuo Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 This would also be helpful when copy and pasting references from older works that use Roman numerals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 We have just added the recognition, not the auto correction, of roman numerals. It's a minor part of the next, very major, free upgrade of Accordance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
