Highlight Colors

Recommended Posts

I am using Accordance 12.3.2 for the PC. It appears the only color available for highlighting is yellow (all the many other icons are not helpful). Is this correct? If so I would like to add that it would be a very nice feature to be able to highlight the Greek text the same way (or at least the same colors) as the text in the Greek Diagram that has settings for individual parts of speech. Thank you, Robert

Hi Bobby,

 

You should be able to customize your style, and make as many as you like, using Display menu -> Define Highlight Styles.  This is also accessible from the gear menu on the Highlight Palette.

Thank you Joel! That's awesome! Better than I was hoping for! Bobby

I use the Accordance Exchange user add-on file that adds color options and colored underline highlights: http://www.accordancefiles1.com/exchange/highlights.htm

 

After copying the .hlt file in your Accordance Documents location, click "highlights" from the Accordance Tool Bar and merge Markers into My Highlights - then you have the full range of colors, underlines and symbols!

 

 

Website Info: Installation notes: most of the files on this website are compressed. They need to be unzipped before usage. The resulting highlights file must be installed into the Highlights folder (in the Accordance Folder of your home Documents folder)

They do not support double clicking as an install method.

I have just switched from BibleWorks to Accordance. So there is no way to automatically color code the text by the parts of speech? In BibleWorks you could assign a highlight color (or a text color) to any or all of the parts of speech and it would do it for the entire Bible. For example, in Greek you could tell it you want all verbs in red.

So sorry I did not see your post until today.

 

Yes, you can do a search, say for VERB, and then automatically highlight all the Hit words by shift-clicking on a highlight style in the Highlight Palette. I also believe that on our Exchange there is a free file that color codes all the parts of speech.

I'm really hoping this feature will be enhanced for Accordance 13...

 

This was discussed in another thread a while back and shown how useful it is but also how much more flexible Bibleworks is for doing this (although a complex process) and also surprisingly Logos (much simpler & flexible interface).  Really hope Accordance are able to catch up and make it a dedicated language tools feature and even better & more flexible than the others...

Finally watching the video now up on the Accordance GoToStage website. So helpful.
