With a nod to the excellent work by Joschua, I present a reader-friendly, alternative format of the World English Bible.

  • Preserves paragraph marks, footnotes, italicized sections, indents, and bolds the words of Jesus.
  • Chapter files are named for easy linking and also provide alias: for the full name
  • Navigation bars help you move around the text easily

It does not support linking to specific verses. That will take a plugin I haven’t written yet!

To get it, download the latest build, or go to builds.sr.ht, click the top build and look for web-ofd.zip.

Feel free to drop comments if you think I’ve missed something!

Wow. Looks great. What are your plans for linking to specific verses? Will you link by ^blocks?

Verse linking is really important, as is the ability to link ranges of verses.

Ideally, [[1 Tim 3:15-16]] would just work. But it may be better to use [[1 Tim 3#15-16|1 Tim 3:15-16]] so that someone without the (TBD) verse-linking plugin would at least land in the correct file.
