I added a couple documents to the group: a highlighter palette and a note file for labeling sentences. They're experimental and incomplete. I didn't fill out all the metadata on all instances (not sold on the categories), but I did at minimum mark up all 1,000 questions in the NT. Try these searches in the ESV:
{Label Sentence WHERE Type = question}
{Label Sentence WHERE Type = question} WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>}
{Label Sentence WHERE Type = question} WITHIN {Milestone <Romans–Philemon>}
Interesting to graph the results and see books or speakers who used a higher density of questions.
Working on exclamations next.
I added documentation to the beginning of the note file.
Feedback welcomed.
- Fred, I shared both the highlighting palette (the thing you use to mark up the text) and the note document (the thing that stores the markup and gets searched). The highlighting palette gives you an example of how to build your own. You can also use it to apply the markup to other texts outside the NT. I think it's useful to share both. Some people want to do the work themselves or want help getting started with Labels; others want the fruit of others' work. I'd like to see us build out and share label highlighting palettes for things we use the label datatype for internally: sermons, journal articles, outlines, illustrations, etc. This will give people who want to experiment with labels a place to start without coming up with the idea and data structure themselves.
- I agree, if there were a range of labeling highlighting palettes available this would give people a nice example and head start.
- Regarding sharing the palettes you use internally - this is a great idea, and one I have been hoping for since the feature was announced. The great thing about doing this is it would allow the end user to see the type of configuration that Faithlife uses internally. If an end user wants to invest the time and energy to put together a demanding label system that could be shared or even published / sold, it is important they have the confidence that they are doing it right. If they can base their palette of the type of palettes you are using, they can have that confidence.
