Formatting of Bible text

Submitted by timchase on Sat, 09/12/2009 - 13:08

Hi, thanks for the great program.

I have a bible module that was created with OSIS source which has section headings and paragraph breaks. The paragraph breaks are there to force a CR in the text to start the new paragraph. When I display my module in BPBible with the Display Headings option turned on, there is a large gap in the text created where the paragraph breaks in the OSIS source occur. It appears like the same gap in the text that is created to display the section headings. Is there a way to have the section headings appear with a little extra space but not for a paragraph break? Here is an example of what my text looks like with the headings turned on:

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
'
'

12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
'
'

The First Disciples

'

Anyway between verses 11 and 12 I was expecting to get a CR only and instead I got three from the looks of it. Please ignore the " ' " in the blank lines. i had to add them to make the text format correctly in in the text above to simulate the look I get on BPBible.

thanks Tim Chase

If you can email me some

If you can email me some sample OSIS, I can look into the problem. I've sent you an email about this. Thanks.
