Brill Lexicon Question: Outline Feature?

I'm considering buying the Brill Greek Lexicon in Logos. Does it have the "Outline Format" feature like BDAG does? It's a beast of a lexicon and I feel it with LSJ not having the feature.

    Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek does not have the Outline Formatting feature that BDAG has, but the typography is good ... better than LSJ, IMHO

    By any chance, has this outline feature been added to The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek?

    I don't think there's been any additions for the lexicons, beyond the initial introduction.

    For anyone wanting to compare viewability (BDAG uses the feature; the other 3 don't).  LSJ is already pretty formatted.  DAG isn't but the sections are easy to see.  Lampe (most recent in Logos) is not so easy.

    I came to ask the same question - is there a formatting option for Brill, like BDAG and DBL??

    Nope … there is a suggestion, though.

    I have both, BDAG and Brill's and Brill's is NOT formatted. In fact there is not even an option as the "reformatting button in my "dynamic" toolbar wont even show up in the book.
