Donald P. Story submitted an update to the fetchbibpes package. Version number: 2018-07-30 License type: lppl1.2 Summary description: Creates a DB of Bible verses from e-Sword, then fetches them on command Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This bundle provides two packages, bibpes and fetchbibpes. This pair of packages was motivated by a friend, who was preparing Bible studies lessons using a combination of the application e-Sword (http://www.e-sword.net/) and LaTeX. He wanted a `database' of Bible packages from which he could simply `fetch' passages into the LaTeX source file. What's new (2018/07/30) Bug fixes. Added the cfg option for specifying a custom contiguration file. New commands showTranslAlways, showTranslDecld, ranslFmt, ranslTxtFmt, and cobblevrs. All documented in the manual. NOTE: The format for the CFG file has changes, you will need to update to this new syntax; refer to Section 3.8 of the manual and to fbpes.cfg for an example. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fetchbibpes More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fetchbibpes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
