Dictionary-Subentry paragraph style: indent not being applied?

[Paul Unger]

In the Hybrid layout of Configure Dictionary > Minor Subentries the 'Paragraph Style for Content' is set to 'Dictionary-Subentry'. Clicking the 'Styles' button, 'Paragraph' tab, I see that 'Indentation' is set to 0.74 cm on the 'Left'. The 'Preview' shows what I would like, that is, 'Dictionary-Subentry' indented on its own line below the Main entry.
             
So far, so good. The problem is, these settings don't seem to be applied to the Dictionary preview pane:
             
nor do they come through a Pathway export:
             
Is there something I'm missing?

I can't pull it up right now but there is a place to tell it to put the subentries as new paragraphs.

I'm looking forward to what you're able to pull up, Jonathan.

After you select "Minor Subentries" in the feature tree on the left-hand side of the "Configure Dictionary" form, look in the right-hand column just below the list of complex form types for the option to "Display each Subentry in a paragraph":

Thanks BruceB. That was already checked. Just to make sure I unchecked and rechecked it. No change... Any other ideas?

Hi Paul,

I see one possibility that might be worth checking. In the Hybrid layout I'm finding that "Minor Subentries" occurs in two different places - once under "Main Entry", and then a second time under "Main Entry (Complex Forms)". I don't know which of these applies to your current entry, but it would be good to check and see whether "Display each Subentry in a paragraph" is selected in both places.

In your original example, does the entry of the complex form "ada-vaghini" list the entry of "adada" as one of its components, or is it linked to a specific sense of "adada" as one of its components?

The complex forms that I have linked to an entry behave as you are expecting, but the formatting for complex forms that are linked to a specific sense of another entry seem to be controlled under
Configure Dictionary > Hybrid etc > Main Entry > Senses > Other referenced complex forms.

When I enable that line to be displayed in each Sense, I see an option on the right-side to display each of those in a paragraph as well. In my config, the "Other referenced Complex Forms" are controlled by the same "Dictionary-Subentry" paragraph style that you described modifying earlier.

Hi Allan,

I don't have "Main Entry (Complex Forms)" in Hybrid layout; just "Main Entry" and "Minor Entry (Variants)". I can only find one instance of "Minor Subentries".

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I didn't have Main Entry > Senses > Other Referenced Complex Forms selected, so I knew it wasn't in there (it would have to be selected for the item to appear, and since the item was appearing and O.R.C.F wasn't selected it couldn't be controlling the item's behaviour). But just below O.R.C.F was another instance of "Minor Subentries" that was selected. And sure enough, "Display each Subentry in a paragraph" was not checked. I checked it, and everything came out as expected.

Thanks again,

Paul

[Paul Unger]

While this solved my issue, I now see that it's not the overall solution I was after... Entries with multiple senses got messed up with the 'Between' punctuation: as soon as a Minor Subentry was placed in its own paragraph, the next Sense also had to have its own paragraph, and the Between punctuation was applied before the second sense--not attractive at all! BUT, it looks like the developers thought through this scenario! Main Entry > Senses has three check boxes: 'If all senses share the grammatical information, show it first'; 'Display each sense in a paragraph'; and 'starting with second sense'. Check all three and marvel! :-)

Thanks, FLEx developers!
