There are several topics on the board relating to formatting text, and I think I've understood the general reasons why such things as font size are not specified within a song database. But...
I'd very much like to be able to specify that the chorus for a song is displayed using italics, whilst the verses are in normal font. Maybe it's just age-old convention from songbooks?
I'm not looking for anything more than a few simple tags, say <i> and <b> which apply to the whole of the line (no need to close it, as in HTML). This is the kind of approach used by Worship Assistant, and enables a small amount of emphasis to be added. As far as I have been able to understand, these two tags need not have any impact on all the other flexibility and control that is desired. If the general display settings specified italics, then the <i> would simply need to become redundant (likewise for <b> ).
Questions:-
(1) Would anyone else appreciate this option?
(2) Am I right in thinking it wouldn't impede the general performance?
