    I'm trying to put certain characters into bold text to indicate congregational participation. The guide says to put either side of the characters. When I do this and try to convert into pdf I get the message "Syntax Error". Can anyone advise?

    Would you post an example of the gabc code that doesn't work?

    Yes, you ought to put <b> ... </b> around each syllable.

    Unfortunately the editing software has taken out the characters you wanted to show us, was it like this?
    this should be <b>bold</b> this should be bold
    NB - to get that yellow box you click on the C in the box above, or manually surround the text with code and /code both typed inside angle brackets < >. Most helpful would be to post the unsuccessful text in a box like that for us to look at it.

    Thanks for your assistance; here is the example text:

    (c3) CRe(h)do(f) in(d) u(gxg)num(f) De(fvED)um,(d.) (::) Pa(gxfg)trem(f') om(h)ni(f')po(d)tén(e)tem,(d.) (;) fac(d)tó(f')rem(gxg) cæ(h')li(h) et(h') ter(i)ræ,(h.) (;) vi(h')si(h)bí(i')li(i)um(k) óm(jhi)ni(i)um,(h.) (;) et(h') in(f)vi(d')si(gxg)bí(fde)li(e)um.(d.) (::)

    Before the bold phrases I've put the b in brackets at the beginning (Eg. before "Partrem") and at the end b in brackets forward slash (after "Invisibilium") although you can't see them above

    Every syllable needs to be marked individually. It's not very convenient.
    <b>Et</b>(f) <b>cum</b>(f) <b>spi</b>(f)<b>ri</b>(f)<b>tu</b>(f) <b>tu</b>(f)<b>o.</b>(f)
