4.3RC1: Trouble getting the basic Datatype Links to work.

I'm having trouble getting the basic Datatype Links to work. Both examples below build the word "Rome" into a link (blue hyperlink), but the link doesn't go anywhere when you left-click (or left double-click), but the right-click menu works.

[[Rome|Headword:Rome]]
[[Rome>>Headword:Rome]]

I can't get milestones (headword) to work in RC2!

I'm having trouble getting the basic Datatype Links to work. Both examples below build the word "Rome" into a link (blue hyperlink), but the link doesn't go anywhere when you left-click (or left double-click), but the right-click menu works.

[[Rome|Headword:Rome]]
[[Rome>>Headword:Rome]]

The syntax with the 'pipe' symbol will not work; it has been deprecated. The one below it should have a space on each side of the two ">>": [[Rome >> Headword:Rome]].

What syntax are you using? I'm not having any trouble with this syntax in RC 2:

[[@Headword:Grace]]

Hi Melissa,

I added the spaces and had the same results - I'm on RC2 now, same symptoms.

You don't have any Headword milestones in the document--only the links to them. You'll need to add the milestone:

[[@Headword:Rome]]

Looks like I'm confused. Thank you for your patient help, Melissa.

I thought that if I used a Datatype link it would open the default or highest prioritized resource for that Datatype and value, and if I wanted to specify a specific resource then I would use a Resource link. I got that idea from the note (on page http://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books): "Datatype and Resource links: You would use a resource link if you want to refer to pg 22 of Carson’s commentary on John’s Gospel (because you want that specific resource to open). You would use a Datatype link if you wanted to refer to John 3:16 (because you don’t mind what resource opens, as long as it’s a Bible that has John 3:16 in it)."

So:

1) The [[Rome >> Headword:Rome]] refers to a [[@Headword:Rome]] in the same document. Is that correct?

2) Is there a Datatype (or Resource) link that would open an article with the headword "Rome" from the default or highest prioritized resource (dictionary in this case)? Or do we just double-click on the text - no link needed?

3) I can see double-clicking on a surface word like "Rome" to get a default or highest prioritized resource open, but what about a general link for Strong's numbers, Greek/Hebrew words, and other Datatypes where you don't know which specific resource to point to because you don't know which resources your reader has (they may have a Greek lexicon, but you don't know which one, and pointing to one you have won't do them any good if they don't have that specific one)?

Yes, that is correct.

2) Is there a Datatype (or Resource) link that would open an article with the headword "Rome" from the default or highest prioritized resource (dictionary in this case)? Or do we just double-click on the text - no link needed?

You would just double-click on the text to open the preferred keylink resource like a dictionary, or right-click on the word and choose a keylink resource from the context menu (or click 'Look up').

3) I can see double-clicking on a surface word like "Rome" to get a default or highest prioritized resource open, but what about a general link for Strong's numbers, Greek/Hebrew words, and other Datatypes where you don't know which specific resource to point to because you don't know which resources your reader has (they may have a Greek lexicon, but you don't know which one, and pointing to one you have won't do them any good if they don't have that specific one)?

You can use a hyperlink for Strong's numbers, such as GreekStrongs:g3056.

What syntax are you using? I'm not having any trouble with this syntax in RC 2:

[[@Headword:Grace]]

My Peacemaker document has been using that same format through beta but headwords are not recognised in RC2/RC3.
