The fetchbibpes Bundle Author: D. P. Story Dated: 2018/03/21 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 (2018/03/21): 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
