Introduction</A>
</H1>
<P>
The <TT>bibleref</TT> package was designed to provide consistent formatting for referencing
parts of the bible.
<P>
<P>
<TT>\bibleverse{</TT><EM>book title</EM><TT>}({</TT><EM>chapter</EM><TT>}:</TT><I>verse(s)</I><TT>)</TT>
<P>
This command can be used to cite a bible book, chapter or verse
or range of chapters or verses.
<P>
The book title, <I>book title</I>, may be given either as the
full title (e.g. <TT>Matthew</TT>) or as an abbreviation (e.g. <TT>Mt</TT> or <TT>Matt</TT>), most standard abbreviations are
recognised. Books with multiple parts should be preceeded by the
book number in uppercase roman numerals. For example, the second
book of Kings should be entered as <code>\bibleverse{IIKings}</code>
<P>
You may have any number, or zero, sets of parenthesis
<code>(</code><I>chapter</I><TT>:</TT><I>verse(s)</I><code>)</code>,
indicating the chapter and verse or verses. Verses can be
specified as a comma separated list of individual verses or range
of verses. A range of verses should be written with a single
hyphen, e.g. <code>2-4</code>. In the typeset output the verses will
be separated with <TT>\BRvsep</TT> (an en-dash
by default.) A chapter may be referenced without a verse, but the
colon must remain, e.g. <code>(12:)</code> simply indicates chapter
12.
<P>
A range of verses spanning more than one chapter can
be entered as <TT>(</TT><I>ch</I><TT>:</TT><I>v</I><TT>)-(</TT><I>ch</I><TT>:</TT><I>v</I><TT>)</TT>
<P>

<P>
You can change the name of a book using
<P>
<TT>\setbooktitle{</TT><EM>name</EM><TT>}{</TT><EM>new title</EM><TT>}</TT>
<P>
Note that <I>name</I> must be the full name, not the
abbreviated name of the book. For example, to change
Revelation to Apoc, do
<code>\setbookname{Revelation}{Apoc}</code>
(<B>Note</B> that you shouldn't do
<code>\setbookname{Rev}{Apoc}</code>)
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00030000000000000000">
Defining New Styles</A>
</H1>
<P>
You can define a new style using the command
<P>
<TT>\newbiblerefstyle{</TT><EM>style-name</EM><TT>}{</TT><EM>commands</EM><TT>}</TT>
<P>
where <I>commands</I> are
the commands needed to modify the citation style.
<P>
Example:
This new style is based on the `default' style, but
has verses in lower case Roman numerals, and redefines
``Revelation'' as ``Apocalypse''.
<PRE>
\newbiblerefstyle{sample}{%
\biblerefstyle{default}%
\renewcommand{\BRversestyle}[1]{\romannumeral##1}%
\setbooktitle{Revelation}{Apocalypse}%
}
</PRE>
Note the use of <code>##1</code> instead of <code>#1</code>.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00040000000000000000">
Indexing Bible References</A>
</H1>
<P>
<P>
<TT>\ibibleverse{</TT><EM>book title</EM><TT>}({</TT><EM>chapter</EM><TT>}:</TT><I>verse(s)</I><TT>)</TT>
<P>
This does the same as <TT>\bibleverse</TT>
but also adds an index entry (provided you have used
<TT>\makeindex</TT> in the preamble.) The default page number
format is given by the command
<TT>\bvidxpgformat</TT>. This
is <TT>textrm</TT> by default, but can be redefined. To
override the page number format for a particular entry you can
use the optional argument to <TT>\ibibleverse</TT>. For example:
<PRE>
\ibibleverse[textit]{Exodus}
</PRE>
(Note there is no backslash.)
