I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now and am really enjoying it. I’m not great at markdown or computing stuff in general but enjoy trying.
I was wondering how you get the verse numbers in line with your h6 headers.
You said custom CSS is that something you are willing to share how to do?
Neat project! I’ve been thinking about ways to use Obsidian to set up courses, including one on Koine. I’ll be curious to see how your project develops.
I did just want to let you know, though, that the Obsidian Publish version is entirely broken for me (on Firefox) as of now.
I am loving this solution. Is there a way to create something like a journal Bible where there would be two columns: the Bible left and notes to the right. I think one idea would be to add table with two columns, but that seems like it would get a little messy. It would be great if I could split a note in Obsidian to divide it into two columns that way. Let me know if you have any thoughts.
You can simply create a document with the Bible text and your notes at the bottom. Split the screen (left/right) and you have everything in the right place!
@Joschua Thanks for all you have done with this. After running the script a few times, I am still not quite getting the correct results. I used “bash bg2obs.sh -e -i -v ESV” to get the ESV version with the editorial headers (and I did receive approval from Crossway/ESV). However, the editorial headers are not showing up correctly. See the image from Acts 4:22 where the editorial header is “The Believers Pray for Boldness.” It seems to be stuck with verse 22 instead of being on its own line.
Do you have any ideas of what happened? I tried it originally without the -e option, and it also included the editorial headers, but not as headers (see screenshot below).
I believe i have ruby and both scripts from joe & jgclark properly setup.
the bash bg2obs.sh doesnt error out in the command window.
it starts creating the folders and .md files
the problem is that it gets the first chaper of each book correct then each chapter 2-x is all chapter 1.
example gen chapter 1 is correct. gen 3, gen 8, gen 50 in the .md file for each chapter is actually chapter 1.
same for all the other books in the bible.
i dont let it run long enough since i dont believe its working correctly. even judges ch 1 will be correct, but judges ch 3 would show the text from ch 1.
I was able to successfully get everything to work except the editorial headers are not formatted correctly. I did this about a month ago. You can see my previous error in the above message. I don’t think I would be able to help you figure out your issue though. I was barely able to follow the directions to get it working. But hopefully it could help you to know that it has been working.
Hey Joe - thanks for building this! Really appreciate it.
As I was replicating, I ran into an issue – all of the numbered books (e.g., 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, etc.) have returned the following error. All other books have downloaded perfectly.
