OT quote /qt within words of Jesus /wj (9.5)

0 votes

I'm seeing that there was a bug which prevented quotes within words of Jesus markers from being colors in earlier versions (at least v7) of PT. However, I can't seem to make it work in v9.5. I've tried the wj markers inside the qt markers and outside, neither works. It seems I can get either a quote (italics) or words of Jesus (red) but not both. Can anyone help with this?

When you have a character style "nested" inside of another character style, you must use a + after the backslash. So that you might have something like the following:

\q1 \v 3 \qt \+wj Â«Afortunados los que reconocen su necesidad espiritual,\+wj*\qt*

Thank you. I guess this question got posted twice. My mistake. Thanks for responding to both!

Where do you define quote marker characters?
Where do you define quote marker characters as valid'? I have curly quote' markers selected in Checking > Quotation ... I've probably missed it somewhere. Thanks for any help!
