How to colorize large portions of Bible text?

Post by ErikJon »

Is there any way to colorize entire chapters of text without having to select each verse one by one?

For example, as most of Matthew 24 represents the words of Christ, the text appears in red, in some translations. What if I want them to appear in green? Must I select and convert every verse individually? Can I not select fifteen verses at a time and convert the color of those, all at once?

I have a Bible module with the words of Christ already in red, and I want to convert it for use in an app like MySword for Android, but I want the red text to appear as black, before I convert it. Is there any easy way to do that without destroying the rest of the formatting (e.g., italics)?

You would need to edit the file and remove the <FR> <Fr> tags

Send me the file and I will gladly edit it for you.

I think I got it converted, now, using Notepad++ to search-and-replace the marker within the text, and then Simple Bible Reader 3.0 to convert the new text to MySword format. Thank you.

Too bad that TheWord cannot format multiple contiguous verses at one time.
