Hi Loren,

The reference for the formatting commands would be in the source file only. It is the file called text2pdf.cpp.

There is no formatting language used. The formatting engine was written from scratch. It consists of an object called Text2Pdf, and various methods that are called.

There is no provision for a discretionary hyphen in that object.

Teus.

I really like the results I can get printing through the internal
typesetter. There are a few things that if tweaked might well make this
adequate for making a PDF to post on-line or to make available by
print-on-demand. One of these is the verse numbers left hanging at the
end of the line. I have a cc table that fixes this if you have it show
you the code before generating the PDF. I then save that text to a file
and run the cc and paste the text back into the window that Bibledit
gives me.

There are a few other things I'm interested in tweaking. Is there any
kind of reference available for the formatting commands? What program is
being used to do the internal typesetting?

Two things that currently come to mind that I might want to mess with:
1. Forcing line breaks in section heads
2. Adding discretionary hyphens in the source text that would be applied
in the format. This is more of a priority 2 thing.

For number 1 above, I would need to know how to force a line break in
the formatting language. For number 2, I would need to know what
character or string could be used as a discretionary (optional) hyphen.

If anyone is interested in the cc table, let me know.
