Extension:SacredText

What can this extension do?
Can be used to quote sacred texts, without any links to external websites.

Usage
The code


 * Gen 1:5

will result in:


 * Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

The following also has the same result:


 * Gen 1:5

Installation
Due to the size of the SQL scripts that add the scriptures to the database, they are kept on a different SVN repository. To download, please execute the following command while inside the SacredText directory:

svn checkout http://sacredtext.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/data data

To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:

Then run "maintenance/update.php". This will create the database table to hold the verses and add the entries for the King James Version of the Bible.

Configuration parameters

 * $wgSacredChapterAlias - if you want to additional abbreviations for chapters. The first index indicates the religious text where you want to use the abbreviation (ex. "Christian Bible", "Hebrew Bible", "Quran").
 * $wgSacredUseBibleTag - set this to false if you want another extension to be able to use the ... tags.

Example for $wgSacredChapterAlias:

Sacred texts and translations
Currently, only the King James Version translation of the Christian Bible is added to the database; however other religious texts and translations can be added. I am looking to add more sacred texts and other translations (that are in public domain or have lenient licenses). Please contact me if you are interested in helping.
