Re: [be] Concordance

I didn't know about opening a list of references. That's a great feature.  Over and over again I have discovered really cool features like that.  Thanks for building such an incredible tool!

It is indeed a bit horrifying that such things need to go through
Paratext, a non-free program.

But to get a bit more serious, yes, it is possible to have bibledit
swallow a list of references, and then to output that list together with
the text of the verses. Two steps to be taken to have that done: 1. menu
File / References / Open. And 2. Ctrl-P / References. That should get
these references together with the verse text into printable format in a
pdf file.

But bibledit is not capable of outputting the word inventory together
with the texts of the verses they occur in. That would be a new feature,
not yet possible now.

Hope this helps a bit, if it makes some sense what I write.
