1. the text and translation lack the milestones required to make them scroll in unison. However, from the mouse over bringing up the commentary it is clear that the milestones are known.
2. because the paragraph numbers of the texts are not milestones and indexed. This lack of the basic reference for the enchiridion is a major hindrance for basic references. This is not the first similar resource on which this error has been made.
3. index theologicus is not linked because the paragraph numbers are not indexed.
4. Index scripturisticus is not linked because the paragraph numbers are not indexed.
5. Index alphaeticus may not be indexed due to the assumption that the search serves this function. However, it would be useful to have this index linked as well

    Note that the similar Faith of the Early Fathers (Jurgen) does have the entry numbers linked in the index.

    2 and 3 are the most important, in my view.

    1. It is highly unlikely that we will add milestones to this resource. This has been a consistent position of Faithlife on anthology resources comprised of short snippets of text from large number of source material.

    2. It's possible we add Enchiridon Patristicum data type to make it so it can be navigated by paragraph number. However, at the current moment it is very low priority as it doesn't get cited by paragraph number very often in other literature. The development time to work on this could be better spent else where.

    3-5. I believe there are things we could to improve the index.
