Text highlighting?

0 votes
157 views

Hi. The PTXPrint webpage advertises:

  • Decorative borders and other textual embellishments
  • Colour in text (which could be used to mark the words of Jesus in red, for example)

Is it possible to use either of these to highlight sections of text (e.g., 10% grey for the text background, not the text itself)? Or is there another approach? Thanks for any help,

Paul

No, this isn’t available yet, but we are working toward being able to use text boxes (with/without shading). See the discussion on this other thread.

Hmmm… Not quite what I was looking for @mjpenny. But I’m actually having the thought that it might be just as easy to do it with a PDF program after PTXPrint works its magic.:bulb:
Thanks for chiming in–I think it helped nudge me along!

In Styles, I cannot seem to have both bold and smallcaps work on the same text.
I want the Name of Deity text (\nd) to be bold and in smallcaps. But selecting bold seems to turn off smallcaps in the output, even though both appear selected in the dialog.
