I'm getting the following error when trying to create a PDF from a single chapter:

!Undefined control sequence.
1.36\v1
 \x - \xo 1:1 \xo*\xt Gén 2:4; Deu 32:4...
--------------
This might be related to a USFM marker error (using an unsupported marker).
Try running 'Basic Checks' in Paratext to validate markers.
It could also be related to an unrecognized setting in ptxprint_mods.tex
References to check: 1:1 2:4, 32:4...
PTXprint Version 2.4.22

I truncated some of the scripture references as they are not necessary. The problem seems to be with the cross reference \x, \xo. or \xo* (automatically generated, not present in Paratext). I really don't know what else to look at. I have run all the checks and Paratext seems to think that everything is peachy, but PTXprint doesn't like it at all. Thank you in advance.

At a first glance, this looks like the mistake might just be that there is no space between the \v and the 1
i.e. \v1 is incorrect. \v 1 is correct.

If that doesn't help, I wonder about why you need an explicit \xo* at the end. You could remove that so that you just have: 

\x - \xo 1:1 \xt Gén 2:4; Deu 32:4..

I hope one of these ideas helps.

Hi Mark,

The \v # is correct (there are no spaces), and it's PtxPrint that's adding the \xo* marker, not Paratext. I even tried with a different, unedited chapter, to see if it was something else in my markup, but that returned the exact same error.

I would be happy to share the project file with anyone willing to investigate further. Thank you!
Yes, please send the archive to ptxprint (underscore) support (at) sil.org and I'll take a look.
I just sent the email. Thank you for being willing to assist.
So as usual, I was the problem. I just didn't know where I was supposed to look and wasted everyone's time. Thank you!
