Resource with FRT, INT, BAK and OTH?

Question

L.S.
I am looking for a paratext resource or example project that has the FRT, INT, BAK and OTH well filled in, meaning with a lot of the \periph lines well laid out. There is of course the usfm 3.0 documentation website, but a real-life example would be best. As far as I can see, none of the resources in paratext have these …
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Answer 1

I followed your advice and installed all the NIV resources available. Two of these have the FRT, INT, BAK and OTH ( see below) Three of them don’t as you have also discovered. But these two are already very helpful. Thanks a lot for the tip.

Hi goodgoan,
Take a look at NIV11R. It has all of those sections. Make sure you get the latest update I uploaded today. If you have questions feel free to post back.

I need to correct myself. It looks like the peripheral books of resources are no longer visible. Not sure when that happened.

---

I seem not to have the latest update. In my NIV11R I can see all of those peripheral books.

---

I just downloaded the NIV11R from the DBL and am PT [Phone Removed]The peripheral materials do not show up at all in the list of books. In 9.2.0.980 the books show up in the list, but do not exist.

---

I assume this was done on purpose. However I would prefer that the peripheral books be visible, at least for people in my organization. They provide a model for how to create these books, which you may (or may not) want to emulate. I wonder who made this decision. Was it implemented on the DBL side or the PTX side?

There wasn’t any deliberate change (in Paratext, at least) that did that. Can someone report it via Help > Give feedback?

Well that is good. Just for your information there are special id codes for common Peripheral sections mentioned here: Peripherals — Unified Standard Format Markers 3.0.0 documentation
This allows the \periph text to be localized but the section to have a standard designation. We have decided not to implement that but to simply use the same \periph text in all of our projects. Your organization should have a policy about this so that typesetters can easily identify these sections.
