How to use the Scriptblockformat template
This template allows you to format your scripture quotes in the standard scriptblock style, but it allows you to use any input, not just our local scripture database versions. This is helpful if you want to cite a translation which our site does not host (we do not host any copyrighted scripture translations), and you want it to be formatted in the same style as all the others.
You might not need this template. If you just want to provide a scripture label for one of our hosted scripture versions, then write, for example:
{{:Scriptblock|Genesis 1:1|ver=KJV}}
which outputs:
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.Genesis 1:1KJV
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 also 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|1| ...}}|scriptref=Gen. 1:28}}
which outputs:
28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. ...” Genesis 1:28WEBGen. 1:28
