<title>Using the Parallel View Mode</title>
<para>
A nice function in <application>Xiphos</application> is the ability to view your specified bible text in several
parallel translations of your choice. The Parallel View mode can be accessed by selecting <guimenuitem>Parallel
View</guimenuitem> just below the <interface>Bible Text Pane</interface>, next to the <guimenuitem>Standard
View</guimenuitem> tab.
</para>
<para>
You must choose which modules to display in parallel with the <guibutton>Preferences</guibutton> dialog found under
the <guimenuitem>Edit</guimenuitem> menu. In the dialog, choose Modules, then Parallel. You can add or subtract
from the list of modules that will be shown in the parallel view. The toolbar gives you a selector tool to erase
the list, delete a module from the list, and add modules to the list.
</para>
<para>
The <guimenuitem>Parallel View</guimenuitem> shows just one verse at a time. You can change the verse by selecting
another verse, chapter, or book at the toolbar. Also note that modules that are Old Testament or New Testament only
(e.g. Westminster Leningrad Codex, Byzantine Majority Text) will not be able to display books that they don't have.

<title>Opening A Separate Bible Translation</title>
<para>
In order to view a Bible translation separate from the <application>Xiphos</application> main window interface, under the
<guibutton>Modules</guibutton> option in the <interface>Sidebar</interface>, choose <menuchoice><guimenuitem>Biblical
Texts</guimenuitem><guimenuitem>language choice</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. Then right-click on a translation and choose
<guimenuitem>Open in dialog</guimenuitem>. The module will open in a separate, detached window of its own.
</para>
<para>
Detached Bible and commentary windows have a synchronization button in the upper-left position beside the navigation bar. When this
button is depressed, the main window Bible and commentary will synchronize with detached Bible and commentary windows. The
synchronization goes both ways: Any detached window will synchronize navigation with all other detached Bibles and commentaries plus the
main window, and the main window will drive all detached Bibles and commentaries whose synchronization button is depressed.

<para>
The first 4 checkboxes control whether each named subwindow is displayed. The viewable state of the subwindows is remembered on a
per-tab basis. This makes it possible, for example, to have a tab dedicated to a maps module alone (in a dictionary module, having
alphabetically-listed places), by turning off the display of Bible, Previewer, and Commentary for that tab.
</para>
<para>
The remaining checkboxes control these other display features:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Link Tabs - When more than one tab is open, each one's verse is navigated separately in the disabled
case. If tab linking is enabled, then all tabs navigate together, keeping all translations on the
same verse.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Read Aloud - If you enable this, then <application>Xiphos</application> will funnel all selected verses
through the <application>festival</application> text-to-speech system. <application>Festival</application> is
a widely-available TTS, often installed by default in Linux distributions.
</para>
<para>
Also, mouse-selected text may be read aloud from Bibles, commentaries, and general books, using the
right-click menu, regardless of whether Read Aloud is selected.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Show Verse Numbers - Normally enabled, this toggle can be disabled to prevent display of verse
numbers within the text.
</para>
</listitem>

the current verse with a substitute high-contrast highlight. The colors used may be selected from
the Preferences dialog.

<sect3 id="xiphos-default-css">
<title>Display Control with CSS</title>
<para>
Users familiar with CSS (cascading style sheets) may wish to create the file "default-style.css" in the .xiphos
directory to contain whatever CSS controls are desired. Beware, it is very easy to shoot oneself in the foot with CSS, and this
will affect all modules' display. The facility exists to provide the capability that advanced users may wish.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3 id="xiphos-user-annotation">
<title>User Annotation</title>
<para>
Many users wish to make personal annotations on individual verses, without the need to put a full "personal
commentary" module to use. <application>Xiphos</application> provides this in the right-click context menu in the
Bible pane. This brings up a dialog showing the current verse reference and offering a text box into which to enter
a brief personal note. Once the user closes the dialog with "Annotate Verse," the verse will be displayed in
reverse-highlight (default, blue on yellow) and a marker <guibutton>*u</guibutton> will be inserted at the verse's
beginning. This is metaphorically similar for users who mark verses in paper Bibles with a yellow highlighter and
write personal notes in the margins.
</para>
<para>
Selecting an already-annotated verse will (in the usual case) bring up the existing content for re-editing. An
already-annotated verse can be unmarked; the verse will cease to show in reverse-highlight.
</para>
<para>
If the user deletes the module name from the reference at the top of the dialog, then the annotation will apply to any Bible
module at the selected verse. However, in this case, re-selecting the annotated verse will not initialize with the existing
content, because the dialog is created based on the specific module reference.
</para>

<para>
The Previewer is where the user sees Strong's numbers, morphological tags, footnotes, and cross-references that the
<interface>Bible Text Pane</interface> provides.
</para>
<para>
Footnote content is displayed in the Previewer when you hover over the indicator <guibutton>*n</guibutton> in the Bible text;
it remains visible until your mouse moves over another indicator, Strong's number, etc. Sometimes you may want the text to
remain anchored until you can move the mouse to the previewer to click on a link or to read large footnotes. To anchor the text so
that you can scroll it in the Previewer, middle-click the indicator (or hold down the <guibutton>Shift key</guibutton>)
and move to the Previewer.
</para>
<para>
Cross-reference indicators <guibutton>*x</guibutton> work much the same way. Clicking the
indicator will send the set of references to the <guibutton>Verse List</guibutton> in the
<interface>Sidebar</interface>, where you can click them individually for reading in the Previewer.
Alternately, a Preferences selector is available, so that cross-reference lists are sent to the
verse list instead.
</para>
<para>
Any verses shown in reverse-highlight have personal annotation associated with them, and such verses will include
<guibutton>*u</guibutton> at the beginning of the verse. Hovering on this marker will show the annotation in the previewer, just as
for publisher's footnotes.
</para>
<para>
If a devotional has been set via the Preferences dialog, then the day's devotional reference will also appear in the
previewer, either on program startup or when the user requests it via the <guimenuitem>View</guimenuitem> menu.
