Installation
1. In Joplin, open the configuration screen, then under "Plugins" search for "Bible Quote" and install it.
2. Download a bible from
/bibles/OSIS within this repository to your computer, or use an already existing OSIS xml bible (you can convert almost any bible format to OSIS xml using the software linked below). However, if you download the .xml file from the web, you may need to right click and save the link in order to download it. Otherwise, you will only get text.
3. Copy the path of the OSIS xml bible and paste it on the plugin setting "Path to the default OSIS Bible file".
4. Optionally set a path to a folder containing more osis bibles in the setting "Path to a folder containing OSIS bibles".
5. Select your desired language for the plugin and save.
6. Enjoy.
For the settings to take effect on already existing citations you need to let the markdown render to refresh. This can be done modifying the note or changing to another note and returning to the previous note.
## Notes
- To convert almost any bible format to OSIS xml you can use the
Simple Bible Reader software.
- If you have a bug or any issue, feel free to make an issue or to modify the plugin.
- If you want to contribute please base your pull requests to the "dev" branch, and prefer to make small, trackable commits.
