Thread:Talk:Scriptblockformat/How to use this template

This template provides an abstraction layer for the scriptblock class, but it allows you to use any input, not just a label for scripture lookup. If you just want to provide a scripture label, then use

{{:Scriptblock|Genesis 1:1}} 

which outputs:

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1WEB

Otherwise, use:

{{:Scriptblockformat|In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.}}

which outputs:

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

This is helpful when you are quoting a scripture partially, but want to use the standardized scriptblock format. For example:

{{:Scriptblockformat|{{:Erasesentencefromend|{{#scripture:Genesis 1:28}}|1| ...}}}}

which outputs:

28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. ...” Genesis 1:28WEB

And if you want to add the scripture label to the quote, do this:

{{:Scriptblockformat|{{:Erasesentencefromend|{{#scripture:Genesis 1:28|scriptrefstyle=scriptrefblock}}|1| ...}}}}

which outputs:

28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. ...” Genesis 1:28WEB

Or, if you need to set a custom scripture reference, you can do it as a parameter named 'scriptref':

{{:Scriptblockformat|{{:Erasesentencefromend|{{#scripture:Genesis 1:28|scriptref=Gen. 1:28}}|1| ...}}}}

which outputs:

28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. ...” Genesis 1:28WEB
