Neusner Babylonian Talmud (better functionality)

Recommended Posts

#1) The first request is to have Neusner's Babylonian Talmud labeled as a text instead or, or in addition to being a tool.  I can't get it opened in certain configurations that I want because it isn't an option under "texts."

 

#2) I'm also requesting better functionality with this existing module--primarily as it relates to scrolling.  It would be nice to have (what I will call in layman's terms) a "true simultaneous scroll," where both the Hebrew and the English translation can be made to scroll downwards at the same pace.

 

Currently, it is frustrating, because you can be scrolling down on one side while the other isn't moving.  If you then go to the other side and begin to move it (trying to line up the Hebrew with the English), then the other side jumps back up to the top, causing you to lose your place again.  No good.

 

The best I can do with it now is to untie the scrolling, and manually pull each side down little by little.  In my concept of a "true simultaneous scroll," you would be able to format the text at roughly the same size between the two panes, and then move them down at the same rate (based on pixels, or some other digital measurement (but *not* the verse).

 

#3) I've always found the formatting of Neusner's English translation to be extremely complex.  I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice not to have the unending variety of paragraph indents, so that the text almost never reads as a solid, stable "chunk."

Please allow the Neusner BT to be a text. I can get the BT Folio and the Neusner to appear side by side if I first load the BT Folio, but if I load the Neusner text first, I can't get them side by side. That makes it very frustrating, because sometimes it's easier to search for a word in the English text, say Yavneh for example, than to search for יבנה in the Hebrew, and then I get all the imperfect forms of בנה. Please update this resource.
