What to expect from Reading Lists

I've been playing around and enjoying the reading list. Part of my reason is that I'm studying the topics and thought I might as well use the reading list as a sort of bibliography. The other reason is to test out various possibilities and put it through the ringer.

What I'm wondering is what kind of functionality enhancements I should expect in the released 4.0?  Are more enhancements coming or should I expect it to remain as is? Should I report bugs or would it be better to wait till beta 4/5 because of changes coming down the pike?

I really hope a healthy percentage of users get behind this feature. I would hate to see it go the way of synchronized notes in 3.X as it is far superior in its usability.

    Philip,

    I would use this feature but can't even find how to simply create one. Please shed some light and I'd be happy to test and explore this feature.

    Thanks

    Mitch

    There is a little bit of a learning curve. The best place to start is to look at an already made list. If you open the reading lists and go to "First Epistle of Peter" you will see a "click here" link at the top. Click on it and it will take you to a website where you can edit the reading list.

    Its intemidating at first but give it half an hour and you'll probably realize that it doesn't take that long. Everything below the "!!! Reading List" is part of the reading list. To create a resource that can be checked off in the reading list start it with "* ". If you want to see what formatting is available go to http://topics.logos.com/FAQ To hyperlink to an article open it in L4 to the right location, then in the copy location option select Wiki. You will need to replace | with " >> ".

    Once you've explored a little bit go to http://topics.logos.com/search for the topic you want to edit, click "edit" at the top right, and then add the following three lines at the bottom of the code

    !! Reading List
    {{?set section::readinglist}}
    {{?set author::CHANGE TO YOUR NAME}}

    From there you can play around a bit with it. save it. then open your reading list in L4 to see what it will look like.
