Basic checks is reporting a problem "Character style not closed" on the following cross-reference in 1 Peter:
\x + \xo 5.13 \xt Zk: Bbh 12.12, 25; 13.13; 15.37-39; Kls 4.10; 2 Tim 4.11; Flm 24 \x*
I can't see what is causing this, especially as there are already dozens of cross-references in the project with the same markers and which aren't generating errors, such as:
\x + \xo 5.6 \xt Zk: Mty 23.12; Luk 14.11; 18.14 \x*
How do I resolve this please?
Without seeing more of the USFM and without seeing exactly where the check is flagging, my best guess is that the cross reference is inside another style that is not closed before the cross reference. If I recall, something like the following is invalid:\em this is text\x + \xo 5.13 \xt Zk: Bbh 12.12,25\x* that is styled.\em*
The fix is to close the style before the cross reference and then reopen it afterwards:
\em this is text\em*\x + \xo 5.13 \xt Zk: Bbh 12.12,25\x*\em that is styled.\em*
It isn't nested. It's a simple cross-reference. Perhaps a screenshot helps more than my explanation:......Unless it's referring to the preceding footnote?
The error was indeed caused by the missing \xt* in preceding footnote but it seems an exceedingly confusing way to signal an error. I naturally looked for a problem in the actual cross-reference which was highlighted when I double-clicked the error message. Still, problem solved.
