Our project uses the \wj marker for Words of Jesus and displays the text using the default (defined by usfm.sty) style of red font. We also use \qt for Old Testament quotes, and display those using a different font.

My problem arises when I want to nest \qt inside of \wj markers. Ideally \qt would retain all of the style of \wj unless explicitly defined otherwise. Specifically, we would want \qt quotes to display in black usually but in red when within a \wj section.

I have tried changing the custom.sty sheet definition of \qt so that \OccursUnder included wj. That didn’t result in any improvement.

I have also used +qt to nest the quote, which allows the red text for \wj to continue after the +qt* closes, but it still isn’t changing the OT quote to red.

Any suggestions of how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

This is a bug that was fixed in Paratext 7.6 (when using nesting styles - with the plus).
