Probably nobody cares about this topic and absolutely nobody has an opinion on it, but how should we do Biblical notation?

[[Gen 1:1]] leads to

Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 1

+[John 1–3; 3:16; 6:14, 44]+

Or we use crosses?

Do we ask for a certain translation like

+[KJV ~ Gen 1:1]+

Or something?

What sort tags does each verse need?

🤔

[[Gen 1:1]] is the same as a wililink, so that was a dumb suggestion.

Need some other bracketing.

:[Gen 1:1]: is very clean. I low-key love the +, tho.

Wikipedia does it like

{{Bibleverse|Genesis|1:1|KJV}} → Genesis 1:1

I like the +[Gen 1:1]+. Traditionally, Bible verses may be cited in a different way than other works, so it seems sensible to have a unique citation style as an AsciiDoc extension.

We can also include the translation abbreviation, e.g. +[Gen 1:1 KJV]+ or [Gen 1:1 RSV]+.

We'd want to publish a table of supported abbreviations for book and translation names.

Ah, yeah, didn't realize that we could just use whitespace as a book delimiter. Cleaner.
