Illuminare Bold Character

edwardr42000

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 ... around each syllable.

Unfortunately the editing software has taken out the characters you wanted to show us, was it like this?
this should be bold 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:

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.
Et(f) cum(f) spi(f)ri(f)tu(f) tu(f)o.(f)
