Custom reading plans from contents lists/articles

DavidR

I thought a good plan for next year would be to try reading some of the Tom Wright For Everyone books. Like many commentaries, they are divided into short sections, each with a translation followed by notes/comments. Logos seems to call those sections "articles"?

So, I want to read at the rate of one article per day, missing out the introductory material etc., starting on 1 January, until I run out of articles (at which point I'll probably start on another book in the series). However, Logos will only build custom plans from page numbers and not from articles. I'm pretty-much a novice at this, so maybe I've missed some instructions somewhere. Ideally I'd do this automatically of course, but if necessary maybe I could build a list by hand from the book's contents page. Any suggestions or pointers?

It's possible to create a reading plan for one chapter/article per day, but it's not as simple as (I think) it ought to be. Faithlife are aware of the shortcomings, so hopefully it won't always be like that. To do it, you have to select the text for each reading, and then add them to a custom plan, one at a time.

In my opinion, for books with so many short sections, it's not worth the hassle. But if you want to try, and don't know how to do what I'm suggesting above, please ask, and I (or someone else) will offer instructions.
