## Description

The following tools comprise the voice-marking custom tools for Paratext:

- Mark quote milestones (from Glyssen)
- <ul>Updates the scripture text with the milestones indicated by a glyssenscript file that the user provides.
- The user may select to have only the Jesus quote milestones in the text, or the milestones for all characters.
- The user may select either representation of milestones.

- This simply converts one of the representations of quote milestones to the other.

- Updates the scripture text with \\wj …\\wj\* tags, based on a glyssenscript file that the user provides.

- Updates the scripture text with \\wj …\\wj\* tags, based on milestones already in the text.

- Removes all \\wj marking, including un-nesting markers that had been nested within the \\wj tags.
- Note: If you ever want to remove all USFM3 quote milestones, you can use RegExPal. See the help file for details.

- Wherever there’s a pair of \\wj …\\wj\* markers, this fills in any required marker changes. For example, it closes and reopens \\wj marking around verse numbers, section headings, chapter breaks, etc.; adds a plus sign (+) to nested style markers; etc
