* TODO Re-visit buffers and modes
  - Don't create a plethora of buffers---reuse unless user specifies new buffer
  - Use minor modes for LEX and MORPH
  - Maybe use minor modes for Texts and Commentaries
* TODO Access footnote and cross-reference information from Bible texts.
* TODO Add customizations for font faces for different kinds of buffers (e.g. Greek, Hebrew, English etc.)
* TODO Infer chapter counts from book data.
  - May not be easily possible
* TODO Search should order references by OT books, then NT books, in alphabetical order
  - Search references currently works pretty well except for the above. Worth doing?
  - WORKAROUND---use search ranges.
  - There is a way to do this. Use a sorted list of OT books and
    output items from search result for each book. Then do the same
    with a sorted list of NT books.
* DONE Split commentaries and Bibles (different names etc.)

* DONE Fix parsing of cross-references from books/commentaries.
  - Partly done
* DONE Cross-references in commentaries should point to Bible buffer, not Commentary buffer.
  - That is, clicking on a cross-reference in a commentary should
    cause an associated Bible buffer to go to the location of the cross-reference.
    - Associate Bible buffer with commentary?
* DONE Synchronize buffers
  - Synchronize Commentary with Bible 
  - Synchronize/de-synchronize different Bible buffers* DONE Add commentaries as module options.
* DONE Psalm 119 acrostic Hebrew letters doesn't work.
* DONE It would be nice to be able to enter either I, II or III or 1, 2 or 3 when referencing books.
* DONE XXX Using "bible-search-mode-follow-verse" function reverts to default (customized) module instead of current module.
* DONE Add search ranges
* DONE Make lookups be relative to the specified book, not to Genesis. (internal)
* DONE Make tabs skip past verse number at the beginning
  - Use `fields' 
  - actually done by using text properties
* DONE Make lookups be case insensitive in all contexts (e.g. module). This isn't applicable because modules have combinations of different cases (upper and lower)
* DONE Cache module list on startup (lazy lookup instead)
* DONE Make lucene search work
* DONE Search results don't show III John.     
  - Apparently this is the only instance of the problem since III John
    is the only book with the III prefix.
* DONE Associate data structure with words so that tags (Strong's numbers, morphology) are invisible but still work
  - Use text properties
* DONE Make tabs work in Hebrew mode
* DONE Clean up Hebrew lexicon tooltip
  - I.e. outline indicators should be better indented.
* DONE Make Hebrew rendering right-to-left.
  - Displaying Hebrew terms already does this, but tooltip display is messed up.
  - Can do for buffer (e.g. OSHB) but needs to look up information from mod.d directory, wherever that may be.
    - Temporary fix: menu item to select buffer direction.
    - Will revisit at some point
* DONE Some bugs in Hebrew rendering (occasional "args out of range" errors). (Fixed by changing the way text properties are done.)
* DONE Fix titles (i.e. in Psalms) (Still broken)
  - Show lemmas in titles?
* DONE Fix punctuation
  - Have to parse XML.
  - ?? Probably lots of work for not much return
  - Did by looking at dom tags.
* DONE Make morphology work in word-study mode
* DONE Cache morphological tags so you only have to look them up once
* DONE Fix Robinson morphology: diatheke doesn't render it with spaces between fields in "plain" format
  - Either parse the XML (or whatever format) or just look for field names and put spaces before them, i.e.
    N-NSM Part of Speech: NounCase: NominativeNumber: SingularGender: Masculine 
    should be
    N-NSM Part of Speech: Noun Case: Nominative Number: Singular Gender: Masculine
    or perhaps
    N-NSM
    Part of Speech: Noun
    Case: Nominative
    Number: Singular
    Gender: Masculine
    though this may take up too much vertical space. But it looks like Emacs puts the tooltips in a good place.
  - Did this by using "shr" package to parse HTML.
* DONE Cross references in Abbott lexicon display are not right
  - I.e. Mk 3:7, 4:11, 15; should refer to Mark 3:7, Mark 4:11 and Mark 4:15.
    Do this with overlapping text properties.
* DONE Move book/chapter/verse to status line (saves room in the display)
