Hi Dorayme,
Thanks again for your suggestions which as always have been very
instructive. I have incorporated (quickly) some of your suggestions
and will look more closely after (my real) work :-)
I have found myself forced towards pre text for verse, it makes
coying / pasting Greek text very easy and preserves the line breaks
for the verse without 100 br per page. The English translation is
treated the same only to be parallel.
Increased line spacing seeks to make the Greek text a little clearer
and easier to read.
Anyway thanks for your ideas!!!!
Andrew
