I am thinking I should make some announcement about cbible. https://github.com/timotheosh/cbible
This is a persoanl project. I wanted an Emacs mode that uses Sword, and diatheke is very limiting. I wanted to be able to turn off verse numbers, and just print the reference for the entire passage selection at the end, rather than getting full book/chapter/verse at the begining of every verse. I also wanted to be able to save commentary notes in the Personal commentary module. So I set up to write a better diatheke (of sorts). I have not written in C++ in well over 10 years now, so this was an opportunity for me to re-learn the language as well. I even wrote some very simple unit tests with the Catch unit test library (https://github.com/philsquared/Catch), and on every commit to master, the project compiles and runs the unit tests on Travis CI (https://travis-ci.org/timotheosh/cbible). If you run the program without arguments, you will start in an interactive mode, similar to the old KJV bible program that used to be on the old UNIX C programs FTP site, and now is part of Debian. Interactive mode uses the GNU readline library. I want to implement tab-completion for Scripture references, but have not found a good way to do this automatically. There is a Kdevelop project file (even though I am writing this almost entirely in Emacs). The program will kickout the Scripture references (with ranges) you through at it, and will turn on or off versification, and with any module you have installed. I have not yet implemented search, but I will in the near future. I have the component that writes to the Personal commentary module working, but I have not yet committed those changes. I will commit once I refine the unit tests for that piece (within the next day or so, if not later today). The program creates a config file for the user on first use, that right now, just contains the default module. You can specify any module you have installed, but uses the KJV by default, until you change it in the config file (at ~/.cbibe.cfg). I am using boost's program_options library. I was thinking of using getopts at first, but I like the idea of using a configuration file as well, and boost's library handles both commandline options and configuration file. I plan on doing some blogging in org-mode on Emacs in the near future, and at some point, I will stop writing any new features for this software, so I can write the elisp I need to be able to use this within Emacs, but I can see potential for this lil' pet project to grow some new features.
