Logos Links and Discussion Format Tools?

J. Remington Bowling

On the Faithlife group page, when posting a new discussion topic, I see no format tools besides italics and bold. Does it support html tags or is there some other way to access more formatting options?

Also, is there a way to link to Logos resources? For instance, suppose I quote from one of Plato's dialogues on a Faithlife Group page. Can I then link to that resource in Logos? I seem to recall being able to do this on a much older version of Logos... Logos 3? We could get a hyperlink to a resource and past that into a word processor. Is there a way to do this in Logos 6 and hyperlink to a resource from a webpage?

There is no formatting for discussions on Faithlife groups. Not even emoji emoticons like on Facebook. Just plain text. Blah, boring. Oh well. That's what it is.

Yes, you can get a hyperlink to a location in an open Logos resource by clicking on the panel menu (upper left), and selecting Copy location as URL:

It will come out looking kind of like an http: URL but prefaced with logosres: instead, like logosres:icrwjkc;ref=Page.p_lxx;off=532. Those logosres: links are not active clickable links from Faithlife discussions, though, and as there's no formatting there's also no way to create an active link, so a reader would have to copy/paste it into their Logos command bar to go to the place you're referring to. Bummer. Another weakness that Faithlife should address.
