Problem compiling personal book lectionary in Logos 7

For some reason Logos 7 doesn't recognize this line from my Word file that I am compiling into a lectionary.

[[@YearMonthDay:Oct 10, 2015]]

Upon compiling, I get the following error:

[Warning] Unable to apply topics to article 'A_YEARMONTHDAYOCT102015'. Article Length is zero.
[Error] Article 'A_YEARMONTHDAYOCT102015' has no content; articles cannot be empty.

Past versions of Logos compiled this without problem.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

If so: is there any content in your file in that line (i.e. does the devotional have something as a header, such as "October 10th, 2015" or "Saturday"), maybe a space would be enough

I found the problem. Now, for some unknown reason, logos requires the field-on and field-off information to all be in the same paragraph. Like this:

[[@YearMonthDay:Jan 5, 2018]] {{field-on:day}}Noach “Noah”{{field-off:day}}

Previously, you could have the have the field information span one or more paragraphs, which gave a lot more flexibility. It seems like I have to redo my entire lectionaries every time a new version of Logos comes out.

Is there an up-to-date site that lists all the syntax details of personal book fields. The info I have found is for old versions of Logos and is very limited in the detail provide.

Wyn, I don't think the PB syntax changes every version, however, there was a major change quite recently: The PB compiler does no longer accept empty paragraphs. Many users found this to be inconvenient and had to change existing PB sources. It seems, this change also affected your book.

Previously, you could have the have the field information span one or more paragraphs, which gave a lot more flexibility.

I'm glad you found the issue.

logos requires the field-on and field-off information to all be in the same paragraph. Like this:

[[@YearMonthDay:Jan 5, 2018]] {{field-on:day}}Noach “Noah”{{field-off:day}}

I succesfully compiled:

[[@YearMonthDay:Dec 17, 2017]] {{field-on:day}}

Day of Year milestone for Dec 17, 2017. {{field-off:day}}

and checked there was a paragraph marker at the end of the first line and that it was all Normal style.

Also compiled as:

[[@YearMonthDay:Dec 17, 2017]]

{{field-on:day}}Day of Year milestone for Dec 17, 2017. {{field-off:day}}
