Hello, I'm working on the Biblical Terms in my Spanish Bible project to hopefully create a Concordance and Biblical Names index at some point. This tool is amazing and very helpful. However, for some reason, none of the verses in Psalm 119 are displaying, so it counts them as missing terms, even if I've added the term to the list already. This seems like it could be a serious problem down the road. Has anyone ever seen something like this? Thank you for your help.

I don't see this issue in the projects I looked at. Is there something unique about Psalm 119 in your project? If you run the basic checks for markers and verses, is there a problem in the book of Psalms?

It doesn't seem to like any of the verses in Psalm 119. The format is exactly the same, with the addition of the \qa for the Hebrew letter names, but for some reason it is rejecting all of the markers. The only thing I can think of is that this text doesn't have Paragraph markers, but it's not causing an issue on every verse in any other chapter.

I would always suggest double checking the Versification for issues like this. Project Menu > Project Settings > Project Properties > Versification. I know that Bibles with different versification may actually number the Psalms differently. I'm not entirely sure how the Biblical Terms tool interacts with different versifications though.

Hola.

Unfortunately you can't distinguish the error messages well when checking markers, in one of your answers. But I manage to distinguish that you do not have any marker before the first verse. This is indispensable and needs to be corrected.

For the “language” of Paratext and for consistency when printing it is necessary to indicate how this text starts, if it is a paragraph or a poetry marker. It cannot go without either of these because it is necessary to know this for printing. 

The chapter/versicle number and markers checks help the text to be correctly formatted but it is also necessary for all the other Paratext tools. It is quite likely that adding the appropriate marker before "\v 1" will also solve your Biblical Terms issue.

Saludos,
Pepe.
