What on earth was the computer thinking ... repeating markups at the beginning of lines? Bad, machine! Bad! Bad!

This highlighting had looked good i.e. vertical lines appear between the phrases as indicated by the note file. Then I went to label 3 items with numbers ... 3 things Abraham is being praised for. The result: the system decided the beginning of a line needed to repeat the highlighting - phrase dividers and the number. Net resoul ONE BIG UNUSABLE MESS.
EDIT: I have solved the problem of the phrase divider but not the multiple occurrence of the image (no. 1).
