Printing
</h1>
<h2>
<a name="TOC-Introduction" href="" id="TOC-Introduction"></a>Introduction
</h2>
<p>
Bibledit can print things like a list of references along with the text, or the whole project, or part of the project, and so on.
</p>
<p>
Printing is done this way: Bibledit generates a .pdf file, and then opens this file in a pdf viewer. From there it can be printed.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="font" href="" id="font"></a>Font
</h2>
<p>
The font to be used can be set under menu View / Font & Colour / Text.
</p>
<p>
Additional fonts could be looked for by searching the internet for "Free Unicode fonts" or at <a href="http://scripts.sil.org/" rel="nofollow">http://scripts.sil.org</a>.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="lineheight" href="" id="lineheight"></a>Line height
</h2>
<p>
In the dialog where the font can be selected, there is also a setting for the line height, in percentages. Normally it is on 100%. Setting it to e.g. 200% gives the line a double height. This would for example allow for text and notes to be written between the lines on worksheets.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="biblenotes" href="" id="biblenotes"></a>Bible notes
</h2>
<p>
These are <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/gtk/tutorials/notes/bible-notes">footnotes, endnotes, and crossreferences.</a>
</p>
<h2>
<a name="locationofpdffiles" href="" id="locationofpdffiles"></a>Location of .pdf files
</h2>
<p>
The .pdf file for printing a project usually is <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/gtk/4-management/data">temporary directory</a>/document.pdf.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="columns" href="" id="columns"></a>Columns
</h2>
<p>
Normally text is laid out in two columns. The stylesheet editor allows the "span columns" property to be set. This means that a certain piece of content spans the two columns. Biblical content honours this setting, but content from the Front Matter and the Back Matter is laid out in one column.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="newpages" href="" id="newpages"></a>New pages
</h2>
<p>
Normally Bibledit prints all the books one after the other, without starting them on a new page. This behaviour is implemented so that normally not too much paper is used. Bibledit can be set to print each new book on a new page, or, going one step further, to have each book start on an odd page. Settings for this are in the stylesheet, under the \id marker.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="notprintingstyles" href="" id="notprintingstyles"></a>Not printing styles
</h2>
<p>
Some styles have the "print" property in the stylesheet editor. If "print" is unticked, then this style won't be printed. This comes in useful when there is some data in the text that you don't want to print this time. Footnotes, for example. The quickest way of doing this is to make two stylesheets. One full stylesheet that prints everything. And one adapted stylesheet that doesn't print footnotes. Just opening another stylesheet in the editor, and printing, makes it work.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="hyphenation" href="" id="hyphenation"></a>Hyphenation
</h2>
<p>
Normally words are not hyphenated. But if a word does not look well on the printout, and hyphenation is needed, the user can insert a soft hyphen in that word. The "Insert" menu caters for that.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="layoutengine" href="" id="layoutengine"></a>Layout engines
</h2>
<p>
Bibledit uses an internal engine to lay the text out on the pages. Under normal circumstances the commands that are sent to that engine during printing remain invisible. But there is a setting to make these commands visible, to review or edit them. The setting is under menu Preferences / Printing, tab "Formatter".
</p>
<p>
Bibledit can also make use of the <a href="http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/sfscripture/TRUNK/ptx2pdf/" rel="nofollow">ptx2pdf</a> macros together with the XeTeX typesetter. <a href="http://confluence.ubs-icap.org/display/TTT/Home" rel="nofollow">More information is provided by UBS</a>. If you have printed something through the ptx2pdf macros, then the files that control this printout are available in /tmp/bibledit/xetex. If you run "xetex document.tex" within that directory, you can do the typesetting again. You can modify the control files there, so as to fine-tune it to what you need. To do complex non-Roman scripts like e.g., Farsi is, you will need the latest version of XeTeX. The one that gets install with the current version of Ubuntu (9.10) may not be good enough. You can pull the most up to date version from the SIL repo. (deb http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu karmic main). With XeTeX you can also print numerals in a different script.
