Bug: New Documentation for Events is inaccurate/misleading

Specifically, the documentation for Search.

  • <Event text> is not a correct statement of the syntax
  • <Event Jesus> is misleading
    • <Event Jesus  should be used (as per the screenshot)
    • it only displays a list of events in Basic Search  (not in Bible Search)
    • the list is incomplete e.g. Jesus sends xxxx events require <Event Jesus sends
    • upon selecting an event, it uses the syntax <Event Jesus xxxxxx>

The Context Menu description does not include use of Search (also in the screenshot)

The Search syntax issue is well documented since Logos 6 introduced the {Section} extension:

  • <Event text> will produce results in non-bibles only
    • mainly for tagged graphics/pictures; sometimes for text
  • {Section <Event text>} is used by the Context menu, but only gets results in Bibles!

This documentation does nothing to alleviate the confusion.
