Thanks for the prompt reply, Dan! The Bible plugin works well in my site. But it essentially is more like referencing system. It all necessary texts are ready prepared and need just a way to reference to them. In this case even Bible would not be so necessary to install locally, because if there is some wiki- Bible centre with all the scriptures in different languages, one could use the interwiki method to reference and extract necessary citations.
My case is a little different. My site is in Bulgarian. (You can add Bulgarian translation of Boltwire: http://testament.vissarion.eu/bg/files/download/site.language.bg ). I need the people from the project to be able to add files, to add and delete verses and what could be the work-flow? Every time new correction should be sent to me for anchor processing?! My aim is to arrange the system as easy as possible to boost this process. That is why I thought of page processing, which could take plain text file with the text of particular chapter and display it in a comfortable design with anchor at every verse for easy referencing. May be it is possible to accomplish it with hidden content and templated display. Besides, if I choose bible plugin, I would need more support to adapt it to my need, because my Scripture texts are not confined just within the Bible. I have to add other books and to attract community to work on them. On the other hand, how do you actually put numbered anchor in front of every line of 1190 files in half an hour? What is your software? I use Dreamewaver for web design and sometimes Notepad++ for scripts. By the way, the link: http://www.fast.st/fast/index.php?p=test.bible works fine from Bulgaria.
