Frequently Asked Questions

Send questions to: topics@logos.com

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.
  • Bold Italic - Start with “*/” to bold and Italicize.
  • Bold Italic - End with “/*” to close the bold and Italic formatting.
  • Headings – Precede by Exclamation marks, “!”, to define Heading Level (!=level 1, !!=level 2, !!!=level 3, etc)
  • Bullets – Precede line by “* ” to make a bullet statement. Notice the space after the “*”.
  • Hyperlinks – Begin a hyperlink with “[[“. After the brackets put the link name. Follow the name with ” >> “. Notice the Space before and after “>>”. Follow ” >> ” with the link Address.
  • Hyperlinks – Close the hyperlink with ”]]”.
