I am trying to do a demo for the translation of a New Testament Bible for E-Sword. The demo will include a few verses from a few books.  I have the latest tooltip. 

Question one:  How do you separate books?  The help file shows only doing the first few verses of Genesis.

Question two:  I am having a problem with invalid references when exporting and the first verse of books not showing up.  I enclosed the file that is a tiny demo.  I have tried separating books with line breaks, without line breaks and nothing works.

 

Thanks

My personal preference when doing a Bible file is this:

 

÷

Genesis 1:1 text

Genesis 1:2 text

Exodus 1:1 text

Leviticus 1:1 text

etc...

 

notice that the ÷ only shows up once in the entire document.  Each new verse must begin with a paragraph break (aka, hit enter at the end of the previous verse).  Tooltip reads every paragraph break as a new verse.  So, if you are making a Bible translation where you want  to show poetic verse (as in, 3 or 4 separate lines in one verse), each new line in the verse must be made with a line break (shift-enter) and not a paragraph break.

 

Then, in Tooltip, just save it in bblx format, using the book chapter:verse setting.

 

If you have other questions, just ask.  I've done enough of these that I have most of the problems figured out.
