mrderek Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi there Is there a way to show the headings in the Bible? For example, in a hard copy ESV, there'll be little subheadings that briefly describe what is in the section. I can't find these in accordance.

Ken Simpson Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi, the simple answer is no, as they are not part of the Biblical text. This has been asked for previously, but has not been implemented. I have no idea if it on our development priorities at all. You can approximate it by putting the “outlines of Bible Books” in parallel. But at the moment, that’s the best I can suggest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Voth Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Sometimes as in the case of the NIV they appear in the corresponding notes for the Bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 This is a long-debated topic. I'll restate my opinion: I would like to see them as an option, not a default--something that could be turned on or off like red lettering. Personally, I like the headings because the help to visually break up the text. As it stands now, there's no way to tell from a quick glance where Matthew 28 ends and Mark 1 begins because the text runs together. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The headings from the Outlines do appear in the Topic pane so if you keep that open you will always see them. We do plan to implement them in the text pane eventually. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Its interesting that even in the hard copy world, JPS and NRSV dont but JB and NIV do but they are different. More descisions for you down track, do you have standard headings for all translation or do you use the ones published or have you already decided to limit it to outline? Hope you have plenty of coffee at that meeting! Its just great we have a current workaround. ;o) Ps outlines looks good as a parallel pane in iOS Edited May 7, 2015 by ukfraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unix Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I wish this would not be pursued in the forthcoming version 12, whether optional or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) While I am not a fan of these headings my only real concern, so long as they are optional, is that they do not perturb search results against the biblical text. Of course I can imagine someone wanting to be able to search the heading text too, but when turned off I would not want them perturbing search results, statistics and so on. I can even imagine people wanting them turned on and not to perturb the search results. Thx D Edited May 8, 2015 by Daniel Semler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 How I request it on another Topic, http://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/15273-search-for-paragraph-headers-in-user-bibles/?hl=%2Buser+%2BbiblesIt would be fine. The outlines are O.K. but only in english and not to the specific translation that is actual set as search text. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The headings from the Outlines do appear in the Topic pane so if you keep that open you will always see them. We do plan to implement them in the text pane eventually. I have been enjoying having the outlines there in the Info Pane. And I'm enjoying the Info Pane in general. It makes amplification easier. I don't go trying to dig around in a commentary that doesn't address the passage I'm reading/studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 To be more precious, "from" the specific translation which is actual set as search text. Any translation (in german) has her own and if you have used one over years it would be nice if we can search to the specific ones. So if on the top of the Info Pane, the Outlines of the actual search text, this would be fine. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Hello I saw now that the Nuova Riveduta 06 has the headings from the NR 06 Notes In this example: "Legge relativa alla lebbra (13:1-59)" and others Unfortunately this doesn't work with the headings in the German Bibles In this example: "Die Salbung Jesu in Betanien" and "Der Einzug in Jerusalem" it seems that the Headers must add the verse range in the Notes. I would love to see this feature in the German Bibles too. Please add them and in all others which have Notes too. So we can see the Headers in the Detail-Window in our language. Without open all the time the Notes too. In the top of the Info-Pane there is only in english.

Jordan Gowing Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The headings from the Outlines do appear in the Topic pane so if you keep that open you will always see them. We do plan to implement them in the text pane eventually. Has there been any further discussion on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 It's still on the "Honey-do" list for eventual implementation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHopkins Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Any movement on this? This was first suggested over two years ago. I've seen it discussed off and on. I'd love to have the option as every printed Bible has them and it gives quick visual reminders and helps the mental connection between digital and paper.

ukfraser Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Hello I saw now that the Nuova Riveduta 06 has the headings from the NR 06 Notes Thanks Fabian, hadn’t noticed before but niv headings also in niv notes Interestingly (for me) the jps sub section headings are also in the jps but Accordance has added the range as well. Many thanks as that makes it even more useful. No headings in nrsv notes but that’s not surprising as there are no headings in the printed copy either.

SimpleTheist Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Personally I don't like headings because they can break up a thought that shouldn't have been broken up in the first place. Its bad enough that sometimes Chapter X of a book continues into the first two or three verses of Chapter Y, headings just make this worse. I'd be cool with the Title of the books included in Accordance to help separate different books. Fine as an optional feature, but I really like that Accordance doesn't have them.

kpang808 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Please make this an option. It can be helpful at times and turning it off and on would be a good solution 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael J. Bolesta Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 As long as headings are optional and do not affect search of the text itself, I think it is a good addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I requested it before to tag the headings as <h> </h> in the Bibles, User Bibles too, so we can search for it, or switch it off if not wanted. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHopkins Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Any updates on this? An optional on/off in "Show Text As" or "Set Text Display Pane..." > Advanced would be good places to hav a check box for section/chapter headings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Gladd Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 +1,000 I'd REALLY like to see headings on Accordance but only as an option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnABarnett Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I don't know that it's feasible, but I like the idea of being able to create custom headings that can be turned on or off in Bible texts. These headings would be editable both in terms of content and verse reference. For example, one could start a book study by creating a first-draft outline, then as study suggests alterations could be made. Sometimes the content would be changed to better suit the results of the study, sometimes the span of verses referenced might need to be altered. It's possible that publishers might not like this idea, and it might create formatting nightmares, I don't know. But if this feature were available I would use it all the time. That way I don't have to use screen real estate for a User Note file in parallel, and the headings are inline with the text for ease of reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
