1. I would like to compare pericopes on commentaries as well as Bible ... even if I have to capture the data myself.

2. I would like to be able to scroll the translation given in the commentary with the commentary itself. Some resource such as Anchor Yale Bible may work best with 3 or 4 scrolling units.

3. I would like to be able to use the Text Comparison tool and the Compare Versions Guide section on the translation given in the commentary itself

    I think this "interior linking" concept is a good one and it would be applicable and useful in many different resources. As valuable as I think it could be, I'm not so sure it would be a piece of cake to pull off. I would definitely like to see it though.

    I can think of at least two workable implementations.

    I really like the #2 suggestion.

    The Word Biblical Commentary is frustrating to use for that reason.

    I use it a lot not just because it has  good commentary and notes but each author does their own translation which gives me more ideas and information doing Bible translation. Having those pieces

    translation - notes - form/structure - comment - explanation

    all scroll together would be huge, much less clicking involved
