Creating a new highlighting style

I am trying to create a new highlighting style that permits me to insert text before a highlighted scripture. As an example, before Deuteronomy 19:1, I would like to add a caption 'Cities of Refuge' before the highlighted text. So far, all my efforts have failed. Can someone point me to a video explaining how to do this? Thank you very much!

Can someone point me to a video explaining how to do this?

I don't know the location of a video that covers this

https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016517891-Highlighting#Custom does provide some basic information about creating custom highlights.

For what you want, I think you need to fill in two sections in the style:

One showing the background colour (or font styling) for the highlight you want added to the text
The other in the Insert Text section with Cities of Refuge in the Text Before section (optionally specifying this text to appear in a capsule)

Does this give you what you need?

Thank you Dan, but I have determined what I wanted to do was not possible. Basically, I wanted to create headers above a Scripture verse like you find in Bibles, but you would have to create many, many different highlight styles to do this. Not worth the trouble.

If you want to force a line break before the verse in question, so that the text inserted becomes a header, you can use the undocumented trick described by Andrew Batishko in this thread.

But it's a pretty convoluted way to do it. I've added a feature request to create a more direct way to put newline characters into the "inserted text" in a highlighting style, in case you'd like to go vote for that: https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/create-away-to-put-newline-characters-in-inserted-text-in-highlighting-styles

Actually it is possible but you are correct that with each "message text" that you want added you would have to create a different highlight.

Anyway below is where you would set this up.
