How do you make a reference for a text with multiple bible references? For instance for one reference it would be:

[[some text >> 1 John 1:1]]

so would multiple text be:

[[some text >> 1 John 1:1, Rev 1;1]]

    I was surprised that your second reference didn't work until I noted that you put a semicolon in rather than a period or colon.  Try simply entering the reference in normal fashion.  I believe the only time you need to use the double brackets and the double greater than signs is when you aren't entering a standard Logos recognized reference — e.g., [[ix. 21 >> Bible:Re9:21]].

    I did and did not work


    I'm not sure what your problem might be, but it works for me.  First the docx file

    Now the PB output

    Note the references in the right margin and compare them to the same in the docx file.

    George, I think you missed his point. He wants to have one piece of text that, on hover, displays a non-contiguous list of verses. Look at his first example, I think you'll see what he's trying to do.

    I'm no PB expert, so I can't say for certain, but I don't think this is possible.

    What about using a footnote and have both references in the footnote?

    You may well be correct.  In that case, since you can only hover on one text at a time, I would agree that it isn't possible.
