RESOLVED BUG: Incomplete documentation leads to puzzlement re: Figurative Language

Westbury, Joshua R., Jeremy Thompson, Kristopher A. Lyle, and Jimmy Parks, eds. Lexham Figurative Language of the Bible Glossary. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2016. This documentation:

Covers the Label syntax and Context Menu entry
Doesn't appear to cover the Section/Tag syntax and Context Menu

I was trying to identify the dual entry in the Context Menu when I found this ... I'm still trying.

I was trying to identify the dual entry in the Context Menu when I found this ... I'm still trying.

The Label usually has multiple parameters, so the Label search can be more restrictive/specific.

In this case {Label Figurative Language WHERE Category ~ <FigurativeLanguageCategory Metaphor, Structural> AND Source ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Son of God> AND Target ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Jesus> AND Type ~ <FigurativeLanguageType Son of God as Jesus>} has the same results as {Section <FigurativeLanguageTerm = Son of God>} and {Section <FigurativeLanguageType = Son of God as Jesus>}.

You can manipulate the {Label } e.g.

{Label Figurative Language WHERE Type ~ <FigurativeLanguageType Son of God as Jesus>}
{Label Figurative Language WHERE Source ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Son of God> AND Target ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Jesus>}
{Label Figurative Language WHERE Source ~ <FigurativeLanguageTerm Son of God>}

They all produce the same results.

For this dataset, we put the documentation in chapter one of the Glossary. Usage is described here: https://ref.ly/logosres/lxfiglanggloss?art=usage and that may help with clarifying the difference between Type, Target, Source, and category (all of which are searchable through the label data). We haven't updated it since the changes in the context menu, however, and you're right that it doesn't cover the {Section ...} syntax. I'll see about adding that to the documentation.
