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.
