Visual filter of O.T. quotes

Kaye Anderson said:

I am anxiously awaiting Steve Clark's answer to it.

Kaye,

get behind me .... [:O] (you shouldn't put me to the test)

i could not find a way to highlight all the words quoted from the OT, but found a way to highlight the footnotes

(click on image to view larger view in your browser)

1. Create a new Visual Filter.

2. Select Basic, your Bible with footnotes (ESV), and Footnote Text.

3. You will have to create a separate entry for each OT book (e.g. <psalms>, <deut>). Then select a highlighting method.
    Notice the Purple highlighted footnote marker in the ESV for OT quote in Matt 4.
    Also notice the custom highlight (that i just created) next to Duet quotes in Matt 4.

The down side to this is that L4 will show all footnotes highlighted in the OT as well.
Anyway this is the best i could do [:(]

Thanks, Steve! This is very cool!

how did you make the highlighting style with Text Before that has a colored box around it?

i used Paint.net to create the image, then created custom Highlighting styles using those images (right click on the small images below to copy them to your computer)

Edit: Rosie i am sure you already know this, but posting for others

The image below shows the highlight style editor and where i added the image. Just click on where the image is in the editor and in the pop-up box select choose file.

But isn't this backwards?

Didn't the original poster want to see the filter show up in the OT?

Logos needs to add a new filter type that will highlight whole verses based on a passage list.  This wildcard stuff just doesn't cut it.

Here's how I did it for the OT.

Great work Todd!

I figured out how to make a wild card visual filter of O.T. quotes in the N.T. using the Holman Christian Standard Bible, but this visual filter shows up in the N.T.  

Jerry,

How did you construct your wild card visual filter of OT quotes in the NT?

If you use the margin type Highlight styles (Left Margin Bar Red, or some user defined margin highlight) this sort of accomplishes that.

Also, I marked both the OT refs and NT, since I mainly read the ESV and it doesn't CAP the OT quotes like NASB. I created another left margin style for that. I had initially used the same highlight style for both, but L4 crashed a lot, so I differentiated styles. (That might be a Duh point, since you usually wouldn't want to use the same markup for different conditions; maybe L4 can't tolerate that). I also had to do a separate Aramaic filter for the 2 Daniel passages in the cross-reference (probably should have just memorized them).

Thanks, Todd, for your solution and to all for the ideas.

EDIT:  make that 1 Daniel Aramaic passage.

Here's how I did it:

In the Logos Help, under "Searchable Labels," I found some very helpful information on using Interactive Dataset Labels for Visual Filters. 

My search fields are

{Label Intertext WHERE Corpus ~ "New Testament" AND Relationship ~ "Citation"}

{Label Intertext WHERE Corpus ~ "New Testament" AND Relationship ~ "Quotation"}

{Label Intertext WHERE Corpus ~ "New Testament" AND Relationship ~ "Allusion"}

{Label Intertext WHERE Corpus ~ "New Testament" AND Relationship ~ "Echo"}

(I have different colors for each, but there are many ways to do it).
