Hyperlinking verses for ease of readers
Hello all, I write daily devotions and post on Fb to review or prep congregants for Sunday. I am wondering if there is a way to simply list references that will allow readers to touch or click and read the verses for themselves? It will save space if nothing else.
How do I do it?
Does this feature work on common software such as Pages or Word?
thank, Tōb

My weekly bump of postings that have not gotten a response in hopes of getting them a response.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I don't have an answer but some clarification will help others. When you say that you post these devotionals on FB (Facebook), do you mean as a regular post, or are you attaching a word (.docx) document? I don't understand the connection between posting devotionals on FB and this question:

Didn't RefTagger handle this kind of need in the past? Was RefTagger retired, or is that just a personal recursive hallucination based on the fact that every good and usable thing in my Logos experience has been broken or deprecated?

Kind of... but not in word docs or on Facebook.

Why not on FB?

Because, unlike a blog, Facebook provides no place for the user to add the code for processing.

I'm not the OP, but a search for his name on FB answers the question. He's posting as regular FB posts:

There is no way to turn Bible references into links in FB posts (since you'd need some underlying HTML code to do it and FB posts don't support that). The only way I can think to do something similar would be to past a URL into the post. Can you assume that your readers have Logos? If so, you could create a link in Logos. If not, you could use a link to the passage on Bible Gateway, e.g., https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A16-18&version=NIV . It's not pretty, but at least you wouldn't have to include all the Scripture text. However, it's common wisdom in online writing that if you include a link that sends people off somewhere else to look something up, they might not come back to finish what you wrote. The web is very enticing that way... So you might be better off just doing it as you've been doing, and including the Bible text right there.

Yes, you can past Logos links (or Bible Gateway URLs) in Pages or Word.
