Toggling Max-sized Object in B.prettyTuple/B.show about text-fabric HOT 7 CLOSED

What I currently do is: objects outside the enclosing verse: display them as plain() would display them. Just a short identification.
Only objects of a level lower than the verse will be shown in full.

Very understandable request that the user determines the nature of the container within which pretty reigns and without which plain reigns.

I have already attempted to do this, but it turns out to be more work than expected. Two factors:

• it should work both in condensed and uncondensed mode
• the complexity of dealing with phrase and phrase atoms (idem for clauses and sentences) is biting
  back, and what about half verses.
• then I also want to have this for cuneiform, in a way that I do not duplicate too much code.

In short, this takes a fair bit of refactoring. I'll see when I can fit it in.

The use case for this request is for reviewing lots of datasets. I constantly have to scroll up or down on the screen until I see my highlighted result. I would like to move through datasets faster and see the relevant result instantly.

Started working on this.

Pragmatic solution for objects that are not completely contained in their container objects, such as a sentence that spans verses: I put each object in the container that contains their first slot and the container that contains their last slot. Each container cuts of the material of subobjects that stick out of the container. This will not solve cases where a sentence spans three verses, or very irregular objects.

An other effect of condensing: objects that are not contained in any container will not show up in condensed results.

What would be an example of an object like this?

If your search for

verse
  sentence
    phrase function=Pred

and then condense to clauses, the verse and the sentence are thrown away from the condensed results.

And what should happen if you condense to lex, or if your search results condense lex items?

It's done, but I leave the issue open for if the exact functionality needs to be tweaked
