Copy Bible Verses custom syntax formatting

In assignments for the MTh I'm taking I have to format quoted Bible verses in a particular way, so I attempted to create a custom format in Copy Bible Verses. Here it is:

0
false

18 pt
18 pt
0
0

false
false
false

%NoRedLetter

%NoFootnotes

%NoCitation

=ForEachVerse

[VerseText]([ShortPassageRef])

However, the formatting doesn't quite match what I'm looking for. Instead of quoting the verse and THEN giving the reference, it gives the full reference after each verse:

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

Would anyone who is syntax-savvy be able to advise on how to write this so that the reference comes ONLY at the end of the quote?

Thanks.

Does this syntax give you what you want?

%CopyAllText
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation

=ForEachVerse
[VerseText]
=Footer
([ShortPassageRef])

Thanks for the quick response Kevin. That's almost what I'm looking for! That gives the following:

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}
span.s1 {font: 11.0px Arial}
span.s2 {font: 18.0px Helvetica}
span.s3 {font: 12.0px Arial}

The Word Became Flesh 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. (Jn 1:1–2)

Is there way to remove the chapter heading and the large verse number!? I would also need to add %NoCharFormatting to meet the style requirements.

Hi Richard

To get rid of the chapter heading and the large verse number you need to remove the %CopyAllText.

You then need to put in verse numbers yourself (superscripting them if you wish) which results in the syntax below:

%NoCharFormatting

%NoFootnotes

%NoCitation

=ForEachVerse

<sup>[VerseNum]</sup>[VerseText]

=Footer

([ShortPassageRef])

Hope this helps
