Xiphos has a feature, "commentary by chapter," so that whole
commentary chapters are displayed along with whole Bible chapters,
and then the verse is tracked visually in the commentary pane, but
in a different manner from the Bible pane (i.e. current verse
always aligned to top, plus a preceding horizontal rule). It's a
UI issue IMO, not an engine issue. If you explicitly list the
verse range covered in your markup, then I imagine you might get
the effect you want in other UIs.
Up to this time, Xiphos' commentary by chapter has not been
default, and I wonder if I should make it so in the future.
I think so. Since Bibles are by chapter, it makes sense to have
commentaries as well, but :
A commentary view in frontends, as Karl mentioned, might be a good thing.
I still don't understand why the OSIS reference "Gen.1.1-Gen.1.19" is
interpreted as "Gen.1.1" only! Again, why this behavior? It seems not
logical for me. Are commentaries in OSIS only verse by verse?
And issues are still there:
- A commentary like "Gen.7.17-Gen.8.5" (in FreCJE = Day by Day, by J.
Koechlin in French) will only be shown at chapter 7, isn't it? I should
also use a "hack" and put an OSIS reference like ""Gen.7.17 Gen.8.1"
(not use continuous reference notation).
- It would be impossible to highlight properly the commentary as you
mentioned (if I understood correctly).
This is again my 2 cents.
