Reader Edition Bibles Can Barely Display Bible Footnote References
Little did I know, and I guess I'm surprised.
In Reader Editions, if there's a footnote (in example below, it's Mat 4:7), they can do a popup. But they can't activate the popup's Bible reference. Just look at it.
Yes, I know the Reader Edition boilerplate. I'm just surprised for Logos 'Bible' Software, the process might as well be a book on ... well gee, there's so many to choose from, I better not. Better to just get another translation and be done with it.

That's shameful!Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

Well, to be truthful, I couldn't believe the Devil took Jesus to Jerusalem, and then stuck Jesus on the pinnacle of the Temple. I admit, I had no idea how else Jesus got up there (or got back down). So, I had to actually 'read the verse'. Some might accuse me of being too 'literal'.
I was also surprised the Devil knows the Bible pretty good (quotes word for word). Trivia for the day.

My opinion, if it's worth anything, I believe the key words come in v. 1, "led by the Spirit." All that follows took place in the spirit.Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

The Berean Study Bible comes from a repository of Bibles that allows us to distribute them for free. The vast majority of the Bibles are in languages that are either completely or largely unrepresented in Logos.
Our primary purpose was to make these Bibles available for anyone to use in the Logos library for free.
Because we are producing them in bulk our primary efforts were focusing on the attributes consistent to the majority: that they had formatting and Bible milestones. Our primary efforts has been to convert as many of these as possible so that minority language readers can find a Bible in their preferred language. All development efforts has been focused on that task.
This particular Bible is an outlier in that it is English and it has things like footnotes. It's possible (perhaps even likely) that including additional reference tagging will become part of the process but right now our efforts on this particular initiative are to move along titles in languages that aren't represented in Logos. There are still dozens of titles that are stuck in processing due to technical reasons. Once we work through that backlog we'll be working through other things that we might be able to do to make an even better user experience.
Hope that helps.0 -
Thank you, Kyle.
Certainly, non-english should the critical priority. I'm glad.

I forgot to mention that I did add this feature to our backlog of work. I just can't comment on when it might get finished.

This is encouraging.
