Interesting.... "No, it is quite possible without any changes to the engine.
When a verse is retrieved from the module it is by address in the file. The trick is to know that one is getting the next adjacent verse with the same address (keeping going until the address changes) and munging the verse number output of the first verse in the range and not getting the text for subsequent verses. In an html parallel view it would also be used to set the rowspan for the cell. There is support in the SWORD engine to ask whether the next verse is a linked verse. " Commenting on this explanation.... It's of particular interest to note that the SWORD utilities that produce output from a module (mod2osis, mod2imp, diatheke) don't actually manage to achieve this functionality. Rather they replicate the verse text for the linked verses for every verse reference within the verse range. You can imagine how unsuitable this can be. It's bad enough for two linked verses, but for a much larger number ..... e.g. One of the Myanmar Bibles translations (the Falam version) links Numbers 7:12-83. Is this a record?
