Adjusting paragraph removes bold formatting

Question

Hello All,

This project uses \pn…\pn* to bold all proper names and I’m wondering this is part of the problem.

This is standard without adjustments:

Situation 1:
If I adjust a paragraph starting in 1:4 using “at MRK 1:3 ‘\p’ > ‘\p_95’” as in the training video, the adjustment works but all the bold markers in the paragraph are removed.

Situation 2:
If I try adjusting the paragraph starting with verse 9 using the above code (modified to 1:8,) the adjustment doesn’t work. I think this is because the section heading contains a name bolded with \pn and maybe the adjustment is applied to the \pn which comes before \p in Paratext. (This bold is redundant as the whole section heading is bold.)
A partial solution to this is if I use “at MRK 1:8 ‘\p([^a-z])’ > ‘\p_95 \1’,” then the adjustment works, but the bold in the paragraph is still removed like in situation 1.

I tried changing the \pn to \bd for bold using " ‘\pn’ > ‘\bd’ " but that didn’t work.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Blessings,
Craig

Here is the Paratext for 1:3 - 1:9 if it helps.

Comments

Seems the latest update to version 2.3.36, along with changing the adjustments from \p_95 to \p^95 seems to have corrected this problem.

I checked and if I use the old way (\p_95) the line is adjusted but the bold still goes away. Therefore, I’ll start using \p^95 for adjustments.

Thanks!

Answer 2

The mechanisms between \p_95 and \p^95 are certainly very different. \p_95 is a separate style (which you could set a special colour/font/etc for if you liked!), but \p^95 is a `\p at 95% width.

One thing you should be aware of is that a changes rule with \p in it might work on some versions of python, but on other versions it will crash. You should use \\p (similarly with other slash things - one slash is a special character, (e.g. \s= some kind of space) but use two for a real slash).

Comments

Yes, this is the entire line I use:

at MRK 1:20 ‘\p([^a-z])’ > ‘\p_97\1’

which is now:

at MRK 1:20 ‘\p([^a-z])’ > ‘\p^97\1’

---

at MRK 1:20 ‘\\p([^a-z])’ > ‘\\p^97\1’

Would be much safer. I’ve had what I think was a \p , very like your example, working perfectly on one machine and giving ‘inexplicable’ crashes on another one. - Very explicable when you look hard enough…

---

That is strange because I copied the code from PTXPrint and it has \p, not \p.

Just posted this and in edit it has two back slashes followed by P for the first one but when I save it it removes one of the back slashes. When I edit my comments above it’s the same. Double back slashes in edit but only one when it posts.

---

Probably, you need to use markdown syntax (the menu says preformatted) for code snippets. For short sections, that’s a single back-tick marking the start and end, for multi-line sections, a 3 back-ticks on the line before and after (no other space) is the convention.

Answer 3

When you need to type in code/regex expressions, if you select the chunk and then use this highlighted button, it will wrap it in the appropriate format so that backslashes don’t get lost:
