Formatting Personal Notes

Formatting Tags for Personal Notes

Some formatting can now be applied to your BibleReader personal notes. This can be done in either the BibleReader itself or by using the Desktop Assistant to edit your personal notes on your PC. Please note that a basic exposure to HTML may be helpful.

For now, applying formatting to your personal notes requires the use of special Olive Tree tags, similar to HTML tags. In the future, the Desktop Assistant may provide toolbar functions to do the tagging for you.

Available Tags:

Tag	Format	Description / Example
<b></b>	Bold	Typed: This will <b>bold</b> the text. Displayed: This will bold the text.
<i></i>	Italics (Not on Palm)	Typed: This will <i>italicize</i> the text. Displayed: This will italicize the text.

<xb=b.c.v></xb>	Verse Hyperlink	The text between these tags will become a hyperlink to the specified verse reference. Replace b, c and v with the numbers that correspond to the book, chapter, and verse reference that you want to link to. When you click on the link, the verse will be displayed (if you have a Bible file installed). Please note that this reference requires book numbers (1 thru 66), not book names. (1 = Genesis, 2 = Exodus, etc.) Typed: This will link <xb=2.5.2>verse</xb> to Exodus 5:2. Displayed: This will link verse to Exodus 5:2.
