Nathan Lovell Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hello, How do I format the text for a user bible in order to insert whitespace? I'd really like my translations of poetry to include tabs or multiple spaces (poetic layout) but I can't figure out a way to do it. Neither multiple spaces nor tab characters in the user bible source file seem to be retained once imported, and I can't find any reference to formatting whitespace in the help. Thanks in advance for your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nathan - Do the formatting after the import. It will remember it then. One of the things I've discovered about the user tools in general is that they do not always look the same in the edit window as they do in the tool itself. So hit the Update button often and use tabs and returns wherever needed to make the final product look the way you want it to look. (A user Bible is created just like a user tool, right?)

Nathan Lovell Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks Julie, but I don't think that's right. A user Bible is imported from a marked up text file, and then displayed as a translation, not as a user tool/user note. As far as I know, there is no way to edit it directly once it's in Accordance.

Helen Brown Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't think this is supported in User Bibles. The more complicated features we allow, the more we have to support the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nathan - Thanks. Having done multiple user tools, and never having done a Bible, I assumed they were the same. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hello Nathan I can make some whitespace if I prepare the txt in BBEdit or TextWrangler with Tab and also with the space bar. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabian Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hello I would love to have the <tags> for poetry. At the moment I can use the tab, but this works only on the first line, or after the <br>tab. But if the pane is smaller the poetry is lost.
