Automatic linking of different witness images to the same piece of text

[scboto]

From Garrettonline project, we deal with a complex textual tradition. Often, more than one witness must be linked to the same portion of text. So, trying the image-text linking tool (so far only at the diplomatic edition level, although we expect to get it at the critical edition level as well), only the first declared image in our code automatically turns up. In the sample code above, only the would appear, thus. Plus, images often overlap in our edition, as you may notice according to this very sample piece of code. Please, note that image 3 we declare at the end of the sample code belongs to another witness, and consequently it overlaps the image 2 belonging to 1853 witness (declared at the code first line). From that final moment on, both images (2_1853 and 3_cfp) will correspond to the same text portion, until image 3 from the 1853 witness would come in (out of the sample). EVT2 features don't allow this overlapping image-text linking. In what extent are you planning to develop this feature in the upcoming EVT3? This problem relates to both diplomatic and critical (as soon as you release this option in the near future) edition levels.

Thank you in advance,
