Text appears in gray in scriptures books, not in GLO, extra books

Question

We are using \add…\add* for things we want in our text but don’t want to publish. See related post on the PTXPrint forum. \add is marked as nonpublishable and nonvernacular and with a gray color in custom.sty. Text marked this way appears gray in Paratext in scripture books, but not in “extra” books (XXA etc.) and not in the GLO. Anybody know why this happens and what we can do to make it work properly in these nonscripture books?

Answer 1

Does your project make use of the frtbak.sty? This is a special style sheet that can be added to a project to handle formatting of the extra books. If you have the you would need to adjust the \add marker there as well.

Thanks, anon848905. That was it. I forgot about frtbak.sty.

If the frtbak.sty stylesheet is not present, does PT revert to using custom.sty for all books?

Yes, if there is no frtbak.sty in the project directory then all books use custom.sty if it exists.

Answer 2

A better question is if custom styling will be honored in all publishing paths. Currently, it is not.
