Template:Bibleverse/doc

Usage

Code format:

({{Bibleverse|BOOK#|BOOKNAME|c:v–c:v|SOURCE}})

Note parentheses: (See WP:EL). Inline external links (this template links offsite) must be separated from the article text by parentheses. (Parentheses are deliberately not included in this template to allow for flexible usage).

Example

{{Bibleverse||John|3:16|KJV}} yields:John 3:16

In text, with parentheses, this looks like this (John 3:16).

Note the empty parameter || before "John" in the above examples. This is to handle the first parameter, "BOOK#", which is not usually necessary, and cumbersome to look up.

Detail

This template is used to provide sources for Bible verse references. See the talk page for more usages, examples and source codes.

• DO NOT put any spaces anywhere in the template.
