How do I get Bible text in this specific format?

Tim Lewis

I am trying to get the text of a passage from the API in the following format:

"[VerseText]"%20([FullPassageRef])

Here is what I've tried so far:

1. Using style=quotation gets very close to what I would like, but I'd like to remove the version from the citation.
2. Using this with the eachVerse="[VerseText]"%20([FullPassageRef]) doesn't work because that results in the reference being interspersed throughout the text of the passage (following each verse).
3. I tried using header="[VerseText]"%20([FullPassageRef])&eachVerse=%20, but that just returns "[VerseText]" (Psalm 23:1–6) (i.e. without the VerseText expanded).
4. The closest I've been able to get to what I actually want is to use header="&footer="%20([FullPassageRef]), and plan on removing the new lines with some post-processing (passages like Psalm 23 would also need some additional post-processing to make sure the tabs at the beginning of each line were being removed).

In summary, options #1 and #4 seem like the best options so far, but they require some post-processing, which I'd like to avoid, if possible.  Is it possible to do what I want to do without post-processing?

I'm in pretty deep water pretty fast with what you're doing, but I noticed the style names match the "copy bible verses" tool in the desktop application and the syntax looks the same. On the desktop you can create a custom format. When you click to add a format, the currently active format will populate the syntax which you can then edit, so my thought was to start with "quotation" and simply remove the [version]. 

Please note that though I've created a number of new styles using this method, when I try to delete "version" it is currently crashing.
