Can be used to quote sacred texts, without any links to external websites.

The following also has the same result:

Installation

Code
The code will be added to the mediawiki repository soon.

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.
