PB bug

tom

I am converting my files from another software program so that they can be used in L4.  One of these files happens to be John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible.  Part of this commentary refers to another part of the commentary (See Gill on ...).

For an example, I linked Gen 1.4 in "See
Gill on Gen 1:4" to Gen 1.4 within the same document.  Therefore, when I click on the link within the .docx file, I go from

 

to:

 

When I click on the link in L4, I get this error:

 

I know L4 is trying to tag the scripture verse.  Because I have the text it linked already, why is L4 attempting to overwrite what I have already done?

There's a few ways to do this rather than rely on interpreting a resource link to the docx file.

Use a Logos resource link to your PB's reference (ie. you have to compile it first):-

          See [[Note on Lk 2:14  >> logosres:pbb:de78698e84fa404fa9d30d9c2ea23064;ref=Bible.Lk2.14]]

You can use a headword immediately before the scripture reference:-

            See [[Note on Matt 19:29 >> Headword:Eternal Life]]

Thanks Dave,

I see these things as work-arounds for a bug in the compiler.  The compiler should not wipe out what I have done.  If there is already a reference on what to do, then do that.

It took me over a month to get this file ready for L4.  It also takes L4 over 4 hours to compile the file.  I do not want to spend another week or two to remove my links and then add L4 tags doing a work around.

There is some evidence that a hyperlink to Word headings should work but I've found it to work only for Bookmarks; and creating those will double the work required (same as creating Headwords).
