Error claiming \tl...\tl* should be followed by a capital letter

Question

I am using \tl…\tl* for transliterated foreign (Greek and Hebrew) words in footnotes. One footnote looks like this:

\f + \fr 16.13 \fq mani \ft — Long tok Grik ol i raitim \tl mammon\tl*. As bilong dispela tok em i olgeta samting ol lain i gat na yumi tok olsem, “ol i sindaun bikpela tru.”\f*

Paratext is giving me this error for this footnote:

“Text of marke/style does not begin with a capital: tl”

I don’t understand why \tl should start with a capital.

I don’t think I have modified the usfm.sty. It has this for that marker:

\Marker tl
\Endmarker tl*
\Name tl…tl* - Special Text - Transliterated Word
\Description For transliterated words

Why am I getting this error?

Answer 1

If this is a text that you eventually want to add to the DBL for sharing with YouVersion, please be aware that any marker nested in a footnote that does not begin with “f” needs to have a + sign between the backslash and the marker: +tl…+tl*.

Thank you, anon175865!

Answer 2

You need to allow lowercase following \tl in the Markers followed by lowercase inventory…
