Here are my current  thoughts on the matter.\n\nThe Dhammapadas present a number of challenges, as there are several of them, each with its own quirks, and many parallels. Even though the texts are closely related, they are organized differently in our files (unlike say the patimokkhas), reflecting the complex textual lineage that has brought them to us.\n\nHere are the different structures.\nh3. 1. One big blob\n\nPali Dhammapada (dhp) is just  one HTML file, with referencing solely by verse number. Vaggas are present, and are significant to the text, as they organize verse by topics. The problem here is that it's quite common to refer to the verses informally by vagga (as say \"the chapter on flowers), but the formal referencing is almost always by plain verse number, which we adopt. So currently we have no representation of vaggas, and the whole thing appears as one suttaplex. This is clearly untenable, as there's thousands of parallels included in one suttaplex.\nh3. 2. Vaggas in Suttaplex\n\nThe Chinese Dharmapadas (t210, t211, t212, t213) as well as the Sanskrit Udanavarga (uv) are represented by a single entry in the sidebar, with the suttaplexes listed by vagga. Within each vagga, the parallels appear as sectional parallels. This results in a sane size of suttaplex list (under 50 suttaplexes), and also a sane number of parallels per suttaplex (usually a hundred or so). Also, the suttaplex titles are meaningful. But it lacks the ability to navigate in the sidebar by vagga, which we can do everywhere else.\nh3. 3. Vagga in sidebar\n\nPdhp and gdhp list the vaggas in the sidebar, and the suttaplexes are per verse. So this is pretty much like a standard collection, except one verse = one sutta. The problem is that this results in long suttaplex lists, which are not very informative. The verses don't really have titles, so you've got a bunch of mostly space-wasting suttaplexes.\nh3. So what to do?\n\nI think the ideal solution would be to combine 2 and 3. That is:# Represent vaggas in sidebar# Present suttaplexes per vagga\n\nIn this case, if you clicked on a vagga in the sidebar, you'd get a suttaplex list consisting of just one suttaplex. That's okay. \nh3. Also, let the Dhammapadas be friends!\n\nSince these are a tightly linked group of texts, it would be nice to collect them together. On Discourse I suggested (https://discourse.suttacentral.net/t/overall-text-hierarchy-for-sc-next/6101/27) we have one menu item \"Dharmapadas\", and there include all the Sanskritic and Chinese Dharmapadas.\n\nIt would be nice to include the Pali there as well. Unlike the others, though, the Pali has a strongly defined place in a structured canon, and we must keep it there in KN. But perhaps we could duplicate the entry, and present it in the Dharmapadas list as well? I'm not sure how hard this would be technically, but if it's straightforward, let's do it.\n\nJira ID: SUCE-455\nJira Creation Date: 13/Jan/18 11:32 AM\nJira Epic: \nJira Priority: Medium\nJira Status (at import): Selected For Development\n\n\nComments:"}}
