Ranged References: Show markers

Sean T · 2025-02-28T19:33:53+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

When viewing a reference range in any book, provide the option to show some kind of marker or begin/end lines indicating the beginning and end of the reading (similar to what is done for Reading Plans).

If there's a way to accomplish this with Visual Filters, I'd be okay with that, I suppose, but it feels like something useful in general.

Apparently locating the book at the start and providing a visual reference (Program Settings > Show Visual Cues) is not sufficient?

Highlighting would be a better option, and you can manage that with a visual filter if you want the effect despite the inconvenience of constructing a VF for each reference range.

Do you want the marker to persist as you scroll? Will it be dismissed when you want to view a new range?

Neither of those are sufficient. I followed a link to a reference range in a book. The reference may have been for a range of page numbers (which I wasn't even showing). It started at the right place, but there was no end marker. I'd like to be able to read the section referred to and get back to getting on. Not looking for inconvenience where I'd literally be setting up a range at that very moment - it would have to be some sort of global one that just worked.

You could achieve this with a custom palette which is what I do for lectionary readings,

@MJ. Smith - thanks for the pointer! I'll poke around and see what I can find out there. It will be great if I can figure out a way to do it, but I'd still advocate for this feature as I feel a more complicated approach is a workaround to what seems a fairly basic need (clearly mark where I navigated to).

I agree this would be a nice touch.

Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2.

Reading Plan for Print Library Books
