BUG: PBB Resolving Bible Reference Incorrectly

I don't think this is a bug specifically with the PBB, but I can reproduce it using PBB. I created a simple .docx file with six references to Baruch: Bar 3:33 through Bar 3:38. I import the file in PBB and see that:

Bar 3:33 resolved correctly (http://i.imgur.com/hRenZ.png)
Bar 3:34 contains references to Bar 3:34 and 3:35 (http://i.imgur.com/adx07.png)
Bar 3:35 shows 3:36 (http://i.imgur.com/y1Hmw.png)
Bar 3:37 shows 3:38
Bar 3:38 is not linked (you can see it is black in the previous screen shots)

It looks like the double entry in Bar 3:34 creates an "off by one" error in the later passages.

I am using Logos Bible Software 4.5b SR-1 (4.52.0.2194). It seems to do the same thing for any Bible with 38 verses in Baruch (e.g. NABRE, NJB, D-R).

What version have you made your preferred Bible? I have an idea on this to check out.

I've tried it with several different Bibles as my favorite. The problem only appears when using a Bible with 38 verses in Baruch. For example, NABRE, NJB, and D-R.

That's odd, why are there .png showing up next to the references...were there .png files associated with the file?

Thanks - I can replicate the bad behavior but not narrow down the cause. So much for my bright idea.

The .png files are cropped screen shots so you could see what I see when I mouse over the references.

Coincidentally, RefTagger also does the same thing when mousing over Bar 3:34: http://i.imgur.com/GcBbA.png

Hovering over Bar 3:34 in forum reply appears to have the NRSV words for Baruch 3:34

Thanks for the tip!

Not for me. RefTagger must be linked to my profile somehow.

This is by design. The "default" versification for Baruch references (used by PBB) follows the NRSV, which combines NABRE's vv34-35 into v34, shifts all the other verses up by one, and ends at v37. You can see this in Text Comparison:

Personal Book Builder doesn't use your preferred Bible to determine the versification to use, so you must explicitly specify a different versification for the links with the full link syntax:
[[Bar 3:34 >> BibleNABRE:Baruch3.34]]
[[Bar 3:38 >> BibleNABRE:Baruch3.38]], etc.

(Note that this doesn't force NABRE to open; instead it will open the reader's preferred Bible to the "same" verse as Bar 3:38 in NABRE, which would be 3:37 in NRSV for example.)

Good to know. My logic was correct - my premise was wrong as the NRSV is frequently my top Bible. This should be documented in Help.

Are there any plans to allow users to change the default verification option? When I am importing Vatican documents, it would be nice to validate against a Catholic Bible like D-R.

This works and thank you for the solution; however, it seems the text link will no longer retain formatting. For example an italicized and bolded reference [[Bar 3:38 >> BibleNABRE:Baruch3.38]] will show up as Bar 3:38. Any workaround for this?

This is a great suggestion (and would also be very helpful, for example, when writing a personal commentary on the OT and preferring to use BHS versification). I'll make sure this is in the system for the next update to PBB.

Yes, there is a workaround. Write the text of the hyperlink with formatting, e.g., "Bar 3:38", select it in Word, press Ctrl+K to add a hyperlink, then enter "BibleNABRE:Baruch3.38" as the Address and press OK. The formatting applied to the hyperlink will be preserved. (Unfortunately, this also includes the underlining, which you may wish to manually remove.)

There is an open case in our bug tracking system to support formatting within the [[text >> reference]] notation.
