1. View web translations (i.e. RSV, NSRV) of the displayed text.
Through the "Page index" link in the upper left corner of the home
page, view the "Links" page and set the default links. You can modify
the list to connect to your preferred web sites. Watch out for
differences in verse numbering.
2. Challenge yourself by reading a randomly selected verse from the
Tanach, Torah, Psalms, Proverbs, or Ruth. Verses change daily.
Through the "Page index" link in the upper left corner of the home
page, view the "RSS" page and set the URL
http://www.tanach.us/RSS/RandomVerses.RSS.xml into your RSS feed reader.
3. Decode and display Michigan-Claremont expressions (standard on this
list) in their Unicode text equivalents.
Through the "Supplements" link in the middle left corner of the home
page, click the "Conversion" link. Your browser must have the (free!)
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. The start-up page has a
simple test example; click the "Convert to Unicode" button to run it.
4. View the text without the clutter of the header and footer.
Click on the book chapter:verse title immediately above the text.
To return, click the book chapter:verse title immediately above the
uncluttered text.
5. Get the Unicode names, hexadecimal values, and HTML constants for a
text. Create web pages with Hebrew text without a Unicode editor.
Select the desired text, hold down the SHIFT key, and click the
selected text. Practice makes perfect!
6. View the site without an internet connection.
Through the "Technical" link in the middle right corner of the home
page, go to the "Off-line operation" section. About 30 Mbytes are
required on your machine.
7. Place hypertext links to text references in documents.
Through the "Instructions" link in the middle right corner of the
home page, go to the "Hypertext links ..." section.
Please advise (via the red "suggestions" link at the bottom center of
the home page) if you encounter difficulties with these or other aspects
of the site.
