Hi,
What is the best way to manage space between chapters when a chapter doesn’t have a section heading at the top. By default, ptxprint seems to jam the new chapter up against the previous one. We’d like to add some space. The text is 1 Cor 11.
In case you can’t see the attached, in our case it was managed by inserting a \b after the \c11 marker and before the \p v1 markers.
Can this be managed on the ptxprint side without inserting paratext markers.
Thanks Wilfred Ball
Welcome to the PTXprint community, @wilfred_ball!
1CO 11 in an interesting example, as 11:1 belongs with the previous chapter. If you really do need a blank line at the end of ch 10, and before ch 11 starts, you need to move the \b to come before the \c 11 and you can always ask PTXprint to switch the order for you with a changes.txt rule:
# Only in 1CO, move the \b blank to come before \c 11
at 1CO "(\\c 11)([\s\r\n]+)(\\b)" > "\3\2\1"
This can be accessed using the Advanced tab (only accessible when the “Full View” is active).
The result should end up looking like this:
BTW, different Bibles do different things here… compare GNB with NLT below:
GNB does this:
NLT does this:
Make sure that you are also aware of the no-break paragraph \nb when you do need to keep the paragraph flowing across a chapter break. PTXprint supports that too.
