Unpointed Hebrew Text

Unpointed text is essential for academic study of the Hebrew Bible; even e-sword has it. Yet in Logos, one cannot read unpointed text unless one uses the interlinear by Tov, but it has annoying grey blocks and forward slashes, and these also make it difficult to copy and paste for citing in papers. I like to have the unpointed text up, with the pointed text in another column for comparison, but right now I'm stuck with Tov's text.

    It is possible to remove the pointing.  I have done so on occasion.  All you nee to do is to paste the tex then go backwards and use the <backspace> key when you pass the following consonant.

    That will help a lot next time I have to copy and paste Hebrew text into a paper.

    Option: use Copy Bible Verses, then use wildcards to Find  ?[\\]  then Replace grey blocks and forward slashes with nothing:
