RefTagger will display the same version in the tooltip windows as you choose for your online Bible version. If your version is not yet available for the tooltips, RefTagger will default to the NIV.
Most sites use one or more template files, so adding the RefTagger script to those files will cause it to work on your entire site. If your site doesn’t have template files but is just a collection of individual HTML files, you will need to add the script code to every page. You may be able to perform a find and replace to apply it to all of your files at once. Most HTML editors like Dreamweaver and FrontPage support this operation.
RefTagger will work in any modern browser, including Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox 2 and 3, Safari 3, and Opera 9. Any browser that supports JavaScript 1.6 should work as well.
RefTagger is designed to check for browser support before running. If you are using an unsupported browser, no errors will be produced; it simply will not run.
Any references to Bible verses on your web page will be turned into hyperlinks. If you are using the option to include Libronix DLS links, a small icon will also appear next to the hyperlink.
Yes. Though RefTagger will automatically pick up any standard Bible references like Matthew 5:1; Matt. 5:1; and Mt 5.1 without any special markup added, it will not tag an instance where you might later refer to verse 48 without specifying Mt 5:48. If you would like RefTagger to tag instances like these as well, you will have to manually apply the Bibleref markup. So “verse 48” would appear this way in the code: verse 48. (Note: the default formatting for the cite tag displays the text as italic. To override the default italics, add the style="font-style:normal" attribute to your cite tag: verse 48.) To learn more about Bibleref, visit the Semantic Bible website.
Currently, RefTagger supports only English. We are working on adding support for Spanish. If you’d like to see RefTagger support another language, please let us know.
We’ve received some feedback from people who want to be able to link Bible references to Bible.Logos.com and have RefTagger add the tooltips, so we’ve decided to add support for it. It also works with Ref.ly links, which is perfect if you syndicate your Twitter feed to your blog.All you need to do to enable this new functionality is add one additional line of code to the RefTagger script code in the footer of your site. Simply add
Logos.ReferenceTagging.lbsConvertHyperlinks = true;
Logos.ReferenceTagging.tag();
