Bible Analyzer User's Forum

I noticed the following coding error in Matt 4:16 of the MSB (Majority Standard Bible), I compared it with the version online at https://majoritybible.com/msb-book-9.pdf I also compared the printed version with the online version at BibleHub, https://biblehub.com/msb/matthew/4.htm

I notice that neither the printed version nor the BibleHub version of the MSB has italic type for words added, so I removed the italic. The corrected version looks like this: I tried four or five experiments to make Bible Analyzer handle the double-indented poetry of the online version. I am sure it's do-able, but it wasn't easy to make it work without adding cascading style sheets. In the end, I relented and removed the indentation of the biblical quotes. Maybe for some other project it might work. I will email you separately the updated MSBS.BIB file.

Just out of curiosity, I notice that there are italics in the rest of chapter 4 in Bible Analyzer's Bible module for the MSB, but there are no italics in the MSB normally (except in the footnotes). Were these italics added to make BA work better with Interlinear and Strong's numbers, or did some of the code come from an unreliable source? I know that the MSB comes from or is related to the BSB (Berean Standard Bible), so maybe the two got confused.

Thanks, Tim, for all your work.

Good catch. Thanks for fixed it.

It has been a few years since I made these Bibles and I suspect the text has changed a little since then. Biblehub has updated the BSB and MSB a time or two.

As well as I remember I think I had to copy some MSB specific texts into the BSB to make the Bible Analyzer MSB as it was not yet complete at Biblehub. It is basically the BSB with just the standard majority text changes. The OT is identical.

As for the italics, they had to come from the BSB. I did not add them.
