Re: [be] Verse-by-verse style

[Teus Benschop]

Hi Dennis,

The same thought went through my mind when thinking about it. What would 
happen is that the \v style causes new paragraphs at each verse in the 
formatted view. Now, the formatted view will take this that the style is 
\p \v. So then, if edits are made, it will change the USFM code to \p \v 
accordingly, which would not be correct. Therefore I am not in favour of 
this change either. The best thing is, therefore, to leave the normal 
paragraph layout in the formatted view, and do the paragraphing at each 
verse only on printout (as it is now). Thanks for thinking with us.

Teus.
