Emanuel Cardona Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi, I have compiled a list of Bible stories with their biblical references (I am actually using it currently with my children) and I would really like to be able to use it in Accordance, so that when I hover over the biblical references I can see the text instantly. Is this possible? I have attached the PDF: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Maybe I am not quite understanding what you want to do, but it would seem to me, if you just create a new User Tool, copy and paste it all in to the tool, then autolink all the references, you should get exactly what you want. (I just did it in about 20 seconds - but I may not understand what you want). As you can tell, it still needs a little tweaking. The Autolink function is not perfect.

Emanuel Cardona Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Sorry, I have never done this kind of thing before in Accordance. But you did give me the answer I was looking for. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Unfortunately even the colors of characters of your file will not be there in the User Tools. (a request from my side) Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ken, Looks to me like the auto-link simply is not recognizing verse reference ranges where the document uses an em-dash as the range separator. I'd suggest replace-find all em-dashes with dashes. I think it will also recognize en-dashes (it should, because that's actually the preferred in many styles).

Ken Simpson Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Thanks Joe, didn’t look to closely. Just proof of concept. Thanks for the debugging :-) Addendum: Just did an S&R on the Em dash and replaced it with a simple - and voila! It worked! (Haven’t checked every link though...) and the single chapter references didn’t autolink, which I think is a known - even designed - limitation. PS - actually all the links that don’t have verse numbers aren’t recognised) Edited April 8, 2016 by Ken Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Cardona Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks to you all! Sorry for my ignorance about the new User Tool. And yes, I agree that there are some limitations. I will need to work on polishing the document now. Thanks again for all your patience, friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
