Chinese texts are missing Taisho text numbers #373

For the Chinese texts in SuttaCentral, there is no indication of which Taisho number the text is, making it difficult to relate these texts to corresponding Taisho numbers that are widely used in academic literature.

For instance, "lzh-mi-kd17" I finally found as T1421 on CBETA. This process of figuring out which is what is takes quite a long time. I also found another sutta that was in SuttaCentral twice, once with the sc-name and once with the Taisho number, so I can see how this can be confusing.

So what I suggest is that all suttas are marked with their Taisho numbers, both in the Suttaplex card an in the Info button.

For instance in the suttaplex card for "lzh-mi-kd17" it could mention T1421:

And in the info button it could mention this too rather than just "Text from CBETA":
