Robb B Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 When using the compare texts and list text differences in Version 7, does it matter if the user uses keyed texts? Thanks! Already thoroughly enjoying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already thoroughly enjoying it! Nope, the comparison works for the first two texts you have open that are the same language. For instance, I could have NIV-G/K open with HCSB and they will compare, or NIV-G/K with KJVS. I could also have open both the GNT-T and GNT-TR and it will compare those two also.

AlejandroBotta Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thank you for version 7.0! Is it possible to compare different Biblical texts in addition to different versions of the same verse? I would like to compare the Hebrew Text of Chronicles with its parallel texts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpkang Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Is it possible to compare different Biblical texts in addition to different versions of the same verse? I would like to compare the Hebrew Text of Chronicles with its parallel texts. No... But if it could, it sure would take a LOT of tedium out of the kinds of comparisons of texts that feed into textual criticism!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 No, you can view them in the Parallel window, but this feature does not work there, sorry. The texts have to match in chapter and verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlejandroBotta Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 May I suggest to add this feature for version 8? In addition to be able to compare the parallel verses within the BHS-W4, it would be also great to compare the OT (LXX) quotations in the NT with the LXX and also the Qumran Biblical texts with BHS-W4. After working on this release and answering all these questions, I also suggest you keep the Sabbath this weekend and get some rest :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb B Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 When comparing the ESV and the NASB I get a text difference when the ESV has a "*" after a word linking it to the ESV notes. I've tried telling Accordance to ignore punctuation, but it still shows this as a text difference. Is there a way to have it ignore superscripts like that when comparing texts? Turning off superscripts didn't work either. It still "sees" the asterisk even though I can't see it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb B Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Is there an answer to my question about superscripts, like in the ESV for example? The compare texts doesn't work very well with the ESV because it factors in all the superscripts even when I hide them. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 We would need to add another option in the Preferences to ignore superscripts, don't know when we will get to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lang Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Actually, Accordance DOES ignore the superscripts. The asterisk character in ESV is not technically superscripted, which is why it is not being ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 We are already working to consider the asterisk as punctuation so that it can be ignored as well. Sorry my last post was less than accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Hoffner Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Can't you just use the ESVp instead of ESV to compare? It lacks these crossref superscripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 The ESVp is not available. It was a temporary solution before we enabled you to hide the superscripts when viewing, printing, and copying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
