We were actually dealing a bit with the idea of a heads-up verse comparison/translation interface. Its not just about linking, its about compiling a page that displays the content of two separate articles (different selected versions) but the same verses in parallel.
The Navpop tool can show text from a particular section when mouseovering a section link, so I suppose a little of that would work. Then what would a parallel link look like? Something like [[source:Bible:Douay:Genesis|1|3|compare:Bible:KJV]] ? And a url scheme like http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible:Douay:Genesis§ion=1&compare=Bible:KJV:Genesis I guess templating could work too. -Steve On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 3:47 AM, Charles Matthews<charles.r.matth...@ntlworld.com> wrote: > stevertigo wrote: >> On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 3:10 AM, Charles >> Matthews<charles.r.matth...@ntlworld.com> wrote: >> >> >>> The use of transclusion by section on Wikisource would make it >>> technically simple to bring the existing verses (or chapters) together >>> on pages for parallel reading.
