Copy Bible Verses Tool code guide

I would like to make my own Copy Bible Verse format to do the following:

Verse reference after the verse
Verse reference with a compact 3-letter format (e.g. 2Sa, 1Ti, Mat)
Verse numbers in brackets, or superscript
No verse number for the first verse (the verse number is obvious from the reference at the end)

Why? Because it is a compact style, and I am used to that layout after using e-Sword (which had multiple verse copying layouts)

Is there a guide to the keywords or code examples for the Copy Bible Verses Tool? For example, since there is a keyword "FullPassageRef", does this mean there is something like "CompactPassageRef" available? Since there is a keyword "ForEachVerse", does this mean there are other keywords like "ForFirstVerse"?

This is my progress so far, which just puts the reference at the end:

%NoCharFormatting %NoRedLetter %NoFootnotes %NoCitation =ForEachVerse [VerseNum] [VerseText] =Footer  [FullPassageRef] ([Version])

Hi, and welcome to the forums!

First, here's a page detailing the syntax for CBV: https://wiki.logos.com/Copy_Bible_Verses#Copy_Bible_Verses_Syntax

Yes, there's a compact reference code: [ShortVerseRef]

The code [VerseNumInContext] should take care of the number on the first verse.

I got this:

%NoCharFormatting
%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation

=ForEachVerse
[VerseNumInContext] [VerseText]

=Footer
[ShortPassageRef] ([Version])

Verse numbers in brackets, or superscript

Here it is with verse numbers in brackets:

%NoCharFormatting
%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation

=ForEachVerse
[[VerseNumInContext]] [VerseText]

=Footer
[ShortPassageRef] ([Version]) 

And then with superscript:

%NoCharFormatting
%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation

=ForEachVerse
[VerseNumInContext] [VerseText]

=Footer
[ShortPassageRef] ([Version]) 

Hope this helps!

Can we change the font?

Can we change the font?

That would have to do with the style codes:

%HeaderStyle = My Style Name Word style for header
%ForEachVerseStyle = My Style Name Word style for verse
%FooterStyle = My Style Name Word style for footer
%FootnoteStyle = My Style Name Word style for all footnotes, including citations
%CitationStyle = My Style Name Word style for citation footnotes

I don't use Word, however, so I've never used these.

Thanks Levi, this is exactly what I was hoping for! I should have searched for "syntax" rather than "keywords" and "code". Perfecto!
