Hello,

I have a small issue with PTXprint. How can I add space between the first verse in italics and the second or third verse as shown in the screenshot?


I wanted it to look exactly like this

I have tried several suggestions from previous discussions, but I still can't get it right. Specifically, this issue is in the book of Psalms. With other books, I manage a bit better.

If anyone has any ideas, they are welcome.I apologize, If my question is not clear, I can explain it better next time.

Thank you and God bless you.

The solution to this lies in the \d marker as explained here. Are you already using that (as shown below), or do you have a different markup scheme for verse 1?

Note that I have disabled printing of the \s section heading to match your text closer. But the \d marker keeps the Descriptive title with the heading block, which gives you the space that you desire, but not an entire blank line.

Note that the spacing of \d can be controlled using the style settings as shown below:

I had tried several methods. In fact, in the other chapters, as seen in the screenshot below, it's normal and leaves the space measured as I wanted. But in 5 or 6 chapters, for example, chapter 54, I notice a difference. You can see the difference between chapters 53 and 54.

Yes, now I see the problem. Please send in an archive for troubleshooting. Use the "Create Archive..." button the Help tab, and send the resulting .zip file to ptxprint (underscore) support (at) sil.org
Still awaiting the archive file. If you need me to look into this further, I need to see the archive.
The \d for Chapter 53 is indented, while the \d in chapter 54 is not. Are you using the same marker in both cases?
I just made it much better thanks to your suggestion. May God bless you and give you the strength and courage to continue helping those in need.
