Wordpress plugin needs a way to ignore text

Reftagger allows defining classes that will not be scanned for Bible references, but this is not available from the Wordpress plugin interface.

You can define a setting such as this:
   noSearchClassNames: ["notag"]

This is an important feature, as I occasionally find text that's mistakenly tagged as a Bible verse that isn't (for example a date range of March 8-10 abbreviated as "Mar. 8-10" gets tagged as a reference to Mark 8-10). It would be helpful if the Wordpress interface could ask for a single class name to ignore, or even just hard-code a class name that we could use.

Thanks for considering this request.

It sounds annoying, but I wonder if that’s as unavoidable as an apple device trying to convert a string of numbers into a phone number.

No, Reftagger provides a way to do this but a value just isn't being set so we can use it.

If I was including Reftagger manually (i.e. not using the Wordpress plugin), then I could specify a class that would not be scanned for Bible references (as shown in my example above) and use that class on my data that should not be scanned. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that when using the Wordpress plugin.

I wouldn’t know how to do that. I just used some script years back on a blogger page

You would change the settings in JavaScript to set a value for "noSearchClassNames," which is an array of class names. One could then use one of these class names to stop scanning text that shouldn't be scanned.

Example of how Reftagger could be added to a web page with the "notag" class as one that should not be scanned.

<script>
var refTagger = {
   settings: {
      bibleVersion: "ESV",
      libronixBibleVersion: "ESV",
      addLogosLink: false,
      appendIconToLibLinks: false,
      libronixLinkIcon: "dark",
      <strong>noSearchClassNames: ["notag"],</strong>
      useTooltip: true,
      noSearchTagNames: ["h1"],
      linksOpenNewWindow: false,
      convertHyperlinks: false,
      caseInsensitive: false,
      tagChapters: false 
   }
};

(function(d, t) {
   var g = d.createElement(t), s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];
   g.src = '//api.reftagger.com/v2/reftagger.js';
   s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s);
}(document, 'script'));
</script>

Then you could use the class name in your markup like this:

<p class="notag">Don't scan this paragraph</p>

So we just need the admin panel code in the WordPress plugin changed to accept a class name (or list of them) and then add it to the settings. Or at least hard-code a class name that could be used (that would be the easiest solution, but not ideal).
