Copy Bible Verse formatting tags question

Brent Williams

I am using the following formatting tags in the "Copy Bible Verses" tool

%NoCharFormatting
%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation

=Header
[FullPassageRef] ([Version])
=ForEachVerse
[VerseNum] [VerseText]

When I use it, i get the following output

John 1:1–2 (ESV)

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² He was in the beginning with God.

Is there an alternative to the tags? So that I could have a line break and not a new paragraph for each verse?

To output like this:

John 1:1–2 (ESV)
¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
² He was in the beginning with God.

Brent, I'm seeing your desired output using when copy/pasting to Pages. Where are you pasting into? My guess is that the paragraph styling in your word processor is set up to add extra space before/after a paragraph...

you are correct, Pages doesn't add any extra lines to new paragraphs. Google Docs does, and the word processor used by the Logos forums also adds a line. I cannot locate the setting in Google Docs to stop adding lines to new paragraphs, and I'm not sure I'd want to turn that off anyways. I like to have a blank line between each paragraph.

What would be more preferable is to put each verse on a new line and not a new paragraph. I was hoping for an alternate to such as the html tag (it isn't supported by Logos) that would give a simple line break and not instruct the word processor to start a new paragraph for each verse. Then I would have more consistent behavior for the formatted output.
