!!! Milestones

The syntax for milestones is *{{~[[@datatype:reference]]}}*. For example:

* *{{~[[@Headword:Rome]]}}* /It uses the language from the Word document, else specify *@Headword+<language>*/

* *{{~[[@Headword:Word(s)]]}}* /It uses the language from the Word document/, else use\\ *{{~[[@Headword+<language>:Word(s)]]}}*

* *{{~[[@Bible:jn 3:16]]}}*

* *{{~[[@GreekStrongs:G3056]]}}*

…

After the book is built (aka "compiled") it should automatically open in a tab and begin Indexing.

 

!!! Upload the book

If you want to /upload/ the book to the Faithlife server, click *Upload* after building (and testing) the book. This will ensure that it sync's to your other installations, but there is a limit to the size (c. 25 MB). Also, be aware that the only way to /delete/ uploaded books is to [[Hide >> Hiding Books]] them.

 

You can tranfer PB's manually via the command: *scan <path>*, where /<path>/ is the location of a folder containing the PB resource files e.g. on a USB drive.

 

!!! Rebuilding a Book

Make changes to your docx files, Add or remove any BODY FILES and then click *Build book*.
