Help with Copy Bible Verses Style Syntax

I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand....

I usually export my bible verses to latex (this isn't important!), and have recently discovered the wonder of custom styles which enable me to embed other tags in the output as below:

=Header

{\large [FullPassageRef] ([Version])}

=ForEachVerse

[\textbf{[VerseNum]}] [VerseText]

The problem is the the [FullPassgaeRef] has an extended - in it (say as in Mark 1:1-8), which isn't recognised when I compile the output. What I would like is between the verses is just two standard hyphens (--). Trying to reconstruct the FullPassageRef gets me so far, however I can't work out how to include the starting and ending verse number. [VerseNum] doesn't work in headers for obvious reasons, but the help has no suggested tag for start verse number or end verse numbers? Anyone have any idea how to access these? Might be one for a developer!

Thanks,

Kenny

Perhaps you can do a search and replace to change all the en dashes to double hyphens before you do your compile.

I don't think you can access those.

FYI, there is a TeX implementation called XeTeX that can handle unicode characters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX

The example even shows an en dash being used in the source.

Thanks Todd,

I'll just continue to do as I do, which is your first suggestion! I'll leave this as a request for the dev's to give us access to start and end verses!
