\pn and \nd markers in headings result in text that has not all the other character attributes of the rest of the text. E.g. the text in \pn …\pn* will be in italics, but not bold like the rest of the heading with PrintDraft and with Publishing Assistant. (Pathways makes a total mess of fonts and styles, though at least the font sizes are the same as the surrounding text.)

In footnotes the notation +pn …+pn* can be used, but in headings this results in Paratext showing these markers in red, i.e. as errors.

How are such markers to be used in headings?

I had the same problem with \tl ... \tl* in headings: they showed up in italics, but without bold. I solved this in typesetting by putting an extra line in finalchanges.txt to apply a special character style:

in "<ParaStyle:s>.*?\r\n": "<CharStyle:tl" > "<CharStyle:tls"

However, this does not solve the view in PT itself. Also, it also requires extra care when various headings (\s2 \ms) are used.
