Quotations within an /ip paragraph marker that includes an /nd marker in the quoted text

Question

The /ip marker is used in book introductions in the Good News Version. In Deuteronomy, the /ip marker is registering an error when the team quotes part of Deu 6:4-6 as they do in the Good News Introduction. The problem I believe is that there is a /nd marker marking a divine name for God within the quote. I say this because when we delete the /nd marker then the error goes away. But we want to keep that marker in the text. What can be done?

Answer 1

See if nesting markers will help (look it up in the Paratext Help menu.)

Dear Shegnada,

That is a good suggestion. I did what the help suggested. Unfortunately it did not help resolve the error messages.

DEU 1:0 Opening quote found without matching closing: ||"||

DEU 1:0 Quote opened - see following message for error: ||"||

Here is what my paragraph looks like

\ip Kugbɔŋ nmɔn a bɔjali be kinkarin ban 6:4-6, le ki jɔɔ imɔbon yan wee Yisa nan yin i ke, nsiim man jon nsiim biɛn:
“Li jiɛ
\nd Uyudaan\nd* a Wonbɔru nin a sufu biɛn, nin a tinaaŋ biɛn, nin a pɔɔm biɛn na.”

The errors are precisely on the quote marks I have highlighted. If I delete the /nd and /nd* then the errors disappear.

I think you need \+nd and \+nd* for nesting to work.

This seems like a bug to me. \nd … \nd* should not break the quote check. You should report it via Paratext Help/Report a problem. Meanwhile you can deny the errors since you know they are spurious. They shouldn’t impact your output.

I reported this bug in Feb 2018 PTX-16365. The only solution for now is to deny the errors
