View source for Thread:Talk:Scriptblockformat/How to use this template

<noinclude>{{:Navleft|Templates Reference}}</noinclude>

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
 <nowiki>{{:Scriptblock|Genesis 1:1}}</nowiki> 

which outputs:

{{:Scriptblock|Genesis 1:1}}

Otherwise, use:

 <nowiki>{{:Scriptblockformat|In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.}}</nowiki>

which outputs:

{{:Scriptblockformat|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:

 <nowiki>{{:Scriptblockformat|{{:Erasesentencefromend|{{#scripture:Genesis 1:28}}|1| ...}}}}</nowiki>

which outputs:

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

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

 <nowiki>{{:Scriptblockformat|{{:Erasesentencefromend|{{#scripture:Genesis 1:28|scriptrefstyle=scriptrefblock}}|1| ...}}}}</nowiki>

which outputs:

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

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

 <nowiki>{{:Scriptblockformat|{{:Erasesentencefromend|{{#scripture:Genesis 1:28|1| ...}}|scriptref=Gen. 1:28}}</nowiki>

which outputs:

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