Not all the details have been implemented yet, and when they are bugs
are to be expected. However, the solution may be of inerest.
First we have two style definitions.
style firstColumn
translationTable nonumsign.ctb
newlineAfter no
style secondColumn
leftMargin 5
firstLineIndent 2
In the firstColumn style translationTable replaces the old translate
setting, which was pretty useless. nonuumsign.ctb is a liblouis table
that contains only litdigit opcodes. Since there is no number sign, none
is inserted. newlineAfter is set to yes by default. Setting it to no
here meansk that a line from secondColumn will follow it on the same
physical line.
In secondColumn leftMargin 5 leaves space for the verse number.
The semantic file will have three additional lines:
firstColumn verse
attrtotext verse,number
secondColumn para
attrtotext is a new semantic action. It finds the value of an attribute
and places it in the input text buffer.
Thanks,
John
