Template talk:Sourcetext

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The problem with sourcetext is that it requires the selection of a particular version, and for the most part only the KJV is offered, which is seriously outdated. The advantage of Template: bibleverse is that it allows the reader to select from a large number, including modern, translations. Maybe one day sourcetext will be as useful and as npov as bibleverse, but currently it has a long way to go.

Here's the list of versions supported by bibleverse: http://php.ug.cs.usyd.edu.au/~jnot4610/bibref.php#srcref

As far as I know, the only complete bible at sourcetext is KJV. The people behind sourcetext have been promising great things for some time now (see also Template_talk:Bibleverse), however, nothing as of yet has changed.

Bibleverse also supports the Catholic and Orthodox Deuterocanonicals and Catholic translations such as NAB. 75.0.15.230 19:52, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Sample use of bibleverse template: Genesis 1:1-5

[edit] Book name (source name) in italics

Code: {{sourcetext|source=The Three Musketeers|Chapter 9|showsource=y}}

Renders as: The Three Musketeers, Chapter 9

I want it to render as: The Three Musketeers, Chapter 9

(but without the link icon.) I am doing this on the One for all, and all for one page. Any ideas? --Ccady 16:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
