User Bible : Paragraphs? And Notes?

[SteveP]

I have been trying to import a Russian Bible translation into Accordance that I have from another piece of software. Mainly I want it into Accordance for convenience and to use on my iPad. I am trying (and will be for life) to learn Russian, and it is very helpful to have this translation at hand. I need a more contemporary translation, like the SlovoZhizny or New Russian Translation, the old Russian Synodal would not be as good a help to me in trying to learn modern language usage.

 

Anyway, as to the text... The format is in the Verse Per Line format, and I have taken care of the required re-numbering of the Psalms and verses so that it lines up with standard KJV-type versification.

 

However, when I try to import the text I get the dreaded error about Too Many Paragraphs.

 

Despite searching the forum, and finding posts talking about the problem, I can't find any real information about just what "TOO MANY" means, so I have no way to know the best approach to reduce them, or even what criteria I have to reduce them to in order to get a successful import.

 

If I remove all the paragraph markers from my text before importing it, leaving in only <br> elements within verses, it will import fine. So this seems to tell me that versification and/or general text formatting is not a problem.

 

Also, the subheadings and some other reference notes are in the text. I was able to write a Ruby program to pull out the pure text into one VPL file, and then made a second file that has just the notes assigned to each verse. Unfortunately, only know do I realize that there is no way to import a User Notes file that ties notes to verses?  Is there really no way to do this?

 

Thanks for yoru help.

P.S. As follow-up, I have been trying to find out how many paragraphs other versions have. Not an easy question. But I did a quick search in my text, and as a reference, it has 735 in Genesis, 12,321 total in the entire text.

It would be nice if Accordance add the Russian Synodal Translation with Strong's from the Bob Jones University.

 

I know the issue of too many too. http://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/16021-¶-mark-bug-in-user-bibles/?p=78328and one other but I can't find it.

 

I would love to see your request too.
