It has been explained (ref) that synsets

This comment makes the case for inclusion of both verse lines in each display.

Consider example of सूर्याश्मन् where only the first line of a verse is currently displayed.

We don't know the verse. If a user looks at the scan of page 41, he must scan the entire page text to find this verse (which happens to be on the last line).

If both lines of the verse are in the display, then the user need only examine the verse numbers to find verse १०६७ in the scan.

A solution could be accomplished in two ways:

  1. modify abch1.txt, the 'original' form of the digitization
    • perhaps for 'semantic' reasons we should maintain the correspondence between synsets and corresponding verse fragments
  2. provide the 'missing' verse fragments in abch.xml, via an extra step prior to (or part of) make_xml.py.

@drdhaval2785 a. Do you agree with this idea of displaying full verses? b. If so, which 'solution' do you prefer? (my guess is that you would prefer solution 2.).

drdhaval2785 commented 1 year ago

I prefer solution 2.

Jim has implemented a script to add additional information about the verses which do not end with verse number. Closing the issue.
