The Mishneh Torah does not contain the "headings" #70

Closed levinotik closed 4 years ago

levinotik commented 10 years ago

At the beginning of each "hilchot" in the Mishneh Torah, the Rambam included a heading in which he enumerates the "mitzvot" he will discuss. Sefaria's MT currently does not contain these headings and there seems to be no way to add them.

Thanks, this is due to a known limitation. To get the prototype out the door, the first pass at Sefaria made a number of simplifying assumptions about how texts are structured. In short, all texts are treated with a uniform, hierarchal structure where each section of a text can be referenced numerically.

It's one of the next big project in the pipeline (after building a Review flow) to refactor text structures to accommodate many features, including headings ands and introductions.
