Non-breaking space in Copy Bible Verse tamplate

Frederick

I have been searching quite a while but found no solution for this. Please advice if I missed.

But the situation is, when I cut and paste a selected bible text to Word, chances are the line breaks at the verse number and the actual text of that verse is pushed to the next line. It will be better to have the verse number stays with the text. I need a non-breaking space instead of regular space between the verse number and the text. However, the regular HTML code   does not work. 

Am I doing anything wrong? How can I add this non-breaking space?

Thanks

I think I have the same problem you have, but I don’t know since im not down with the web lingo

I made a custom style, see if it has what you need, that "space" between the two asterisks and the equal sign

%NoCharFormatting
%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation
%NoParFormatting
=Header<p>>**[FullPassageRef]**⠀=ForEachVerse*[VerseNum]* [VerseText]=Footer</p>{
}

Hi Frederick,
I'm not sure I understand to what you are referring ... e.g. "cut and paste" => when you are using the CBV tool, which style have you selected and set in the tool? are you using one of the pre-defined styles (such as "fully formatted") or have you set up your own style? In my screenshot of Rom 1:1-7 from ESV I just used the "fully formatted" style and it inserted into Word with a non breaking space "°" between verse numbers and text

Is this sort of what you would like to achieve? You could try any of the pre-defined styles and see which comes closest to your desired result and then, if needed make a copy of it and edit the style further.

Also note, some of the original format from the Bible text was kept (paragraph break between v.6 and v. 7).  There are some options to change the way the bible text displays in the "reformat / bible text" section of the visual filter drop down list.

Thanks for the reply.

After testing, the actual problem is because I am copying from Chinese Bible. In the version I use, the verse number is not in superscript format. Therefore I copied from some existing template that formats the verse number using ^[VerseNum]. But doing so I have to remove the clause %CopyAllText. Otherwise the verse number will be shown twice. 

However, the %CopyAllText clause removes the original verse number, together with the original non-breaking space.

the formatting " " looks like HTML command. So I tried to use also HTML character for non-breaking space "&nbsp;". But it didn't work.

What happens if you do not remove that line %CopyAllText, and instead simply take out the "^{" and "}" surrounding the [VerseNum] place holder?

The CBV tool only uses a certain set of codes, but doesn't support other html codes ...
