P. Story +Dated: 2018/07/30 + +This bundle provides two packages, bibpes and fetchbibpes. This pair of +packages was motivated by a friend, who was preparing Bible studies lessons +using a combination of the application e-Sword (http://www.e-sword.net/) and +LaTeX. He wanted a `database' of Bible packages from which he could simply +`fetch' passages into the LaTeX source file. + + 1. The bibpes package is the `database' part of the problem. Use the + e-Sword application to copy and paste desired passages into an + (empty) TXT file. Use makebibpes.tex to convert the TXT file to a DEF + file formatted in a way that is usable by fetchbibpes. + + 2. The fetchbibpes package is the `fetch' portion. Using the fetch + commands of fetchbibpes to reference the passages to be typeset into + the \LaTeX source. Two commands, \fetchverse and \fetchverses are + defined with numerous support options for formatting the verses. + A simple example is \fetchverses{Gen 1:1-10}, the command fetches + the passage Genesis 1:10 from the `database' of DEF files input + into the source document. + +Unpack the distribution by latexing fetchbibpes.ins. + +What's new (2018/07/30) Bug fixes. Added the cfg option for specifying a +custom contiguration file. New commands \showTranslAlways, \showTranslDecld, +\translFmt, \translTxtFmt, and \cobblevrs. All documented in the manual. +NOTE: The format for the CFG file has changes, you will need to update to +this new syntax; refer to Section 3.8 of the manual and to fbpes.cfg for an +example. + +What's new (2018/07/12) Defined a new command \fetchversestxt; the command +has the same arguments as \fetchverses, but it does not expand to typeset +content. Rather, it defines two commands \versetxt and \passagetxt. These two +are the passage reference and the passage for that verse but with all \LaTeX +styling and font changes. + +What's new (2018/03/21): Implemented open ended ranges, for example, +\fetchverses{Joh 3:27-} fetches all passages from John, chapter 3, starting +with verse 27 until the end of the chapter. + +What's new (2016/09/24): Changed behavior of the alt key. Added an alt* key. + + +Enjoy. + +D. P. Story +www.acrotex.net +dpstory@uakron.edu +dpstory@acrotex.net + + |
