Better Linking (in D.A. Carson's Pillar Commentary on John)

Jacob Hantla

I'm making this post now because D.A. Carson's Pillar Commentary on John is in the running for Logos March Madness. It is truly an incredible commentary. I've been working through John, and I am finding it consistently the most most helpful commentary in my collection. 

I enjoy how most references to commentaries are tagged so that a hover over the author's last name brings up the name of the commentary. 

However, there are tons of references in the commentary to Lexicons, other commentaries, and books (particularly Carson's which are included in the Carson Collection) which are available in Logos but there does not appear to be much an attempt to identify those works and link to them. 

I hope that Logos can go back into this resource and fix the tagging. Even better would be implementing the suggestion I've made a number of times about letting users help create these links via a feature like "report typo". However, once two (or three) independent users have recommended the exact same link, the change should be automatically accepted and the resource updated. These link recommendations would also likely make it easier than the current "report typo" for Logos staff to go through and evaluate the suggestions and implement the links.

The linking throughout the library is one of Logos' strongest features that sets Logos apart from the competition and makes resources worth the premium. The quality and consistency of these links, however, is ofter poor. Implementing this suggestions would be an inexpensive way to help fix this.
