Mike decided to get me involved. :wink:

I did some work on this in a fork, @Joschua. You likely don’t want to pull it in directly but I made some adjustments for my own purposes.

  1. Instead of relying on the installation of the BG to MD dependency, I installed it as a submodule and then referenced the .rb executable directly in your script.

  2. I removed a lot of the "00 - " numbering and such in your script so that it was cleaner on the output side.

  3. I added a script versesplit.sh that can be run on a version directory and it will split out the chapter markdown files into individual verse markdown files.

  4. I added another script masterfiles.sh that when run will create a file in each book and chapter folder that contains links to the downstream files. So Genesis.md has links to all the chapters. Genesis 1.md has links to all the verses. That way there’s a link between it all.

  5. I then added a final script to add the sorting numbers back to the book folders for sorting them correctly.

  6. Last note, the verse files take on the format Genesis 1.1.md. Colons are no fun in filenames.

  7. Oh! I also changed the root folder name to be just the version text. In my scripts, I have ESV in there. So to use them on a different version, you’ll need to change that bit or alter it to use a variable passed into the script.

Enjoy!
