Frequently Asked Questions

Should I add links to online encyclopedias?

Only if they are unique online resources. The topics will be used in Logos Bible Software, which automatically finds relevant articles in electronic books. A Wikipedia link is useful, because it’s not a book that’s likely to appear in Logos or another digital library. But links to electronic editions of paper books aren’t as distinctive.

What formatting options are available?

• Italics - Enclose in / to italicize.
• Bold - Enclose in * to Bold.
