Okay there should be links in 52 articles .. the first two are skipped as an omen so one won't expect all the HC links ... only random occurrences.

Why haven't the Reformed users complained?

    If it were done properly, it probably should have been indexed on the Lord's Days.  The Lord's Days have more than 1 question each, but the design was to deal with one Lord's Day each week throughout the year (It's not generally done that way today though since the Domine might deal with each question and answer or deal with related Q & A's).

    I'm not entirely sure I understand your question but I'll take a stab: The search you ran in the left panel is for HC references and not HC milestones. What you see in the right panel is HC milestones.

    We created the data type as we did because generally the HC is referenced by Question number.

    Correct - There should be links to all the questions as the lectures cover all the questions. So the Lectures are missing the references to the milestones on the right.

    We created the data type as we did because generally the HC is referenced by Question number.

    However, we have a number of resources that reference by Lord's Day that end up not linked or poorly linked.

    1. Typically we don't make data type references out of data type milestone indicators. (e.g. verse indicators in Bibles don't double as references).
    2.  As for the Lord's Day suggestion I responded here: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/126224/823022.aspx#823022

    I know - you still misunderstand what I am trying to say. Let me start over. Run this search:

    There should be a minimum of 128 links found because the Expository sermons cover the entire catechsim. Bethune, George W. Expository Lectures on the Heidelberg Catechism. Vol. 1 & 2. New York: Sheldon & Company, Publishers, 1866. LLS:HEIDBETHUNE
2014-07-25T17:26:37Z
HEIDBETHUNE.logos4

    However the first two Lectures with Questions 1-5 do not appear in the search results at all.
