Hi Andrew,
From having used ZipScript for the past 7 years, it evidently doesn't
depend on the capabilities of the target application. It will even
paste scriptures into a simple text editor. If you davelop an
application that can copy to the clipboard, close itself, then paste to
the currently active application (like using Ctrl-V from the keyboard),
you should have what you're looking for.
Peace,
David

Hi,
Peter von Kaehne has invited me to join this mailing list and to
introduce myself.
Some years ago moved from MS word to Open Office Writer as my main
word processor. As I was on Windows I could use a small programme
called ZipScript to insert Bible texts almost anywhere,
but especially in word processor documents.
I have no moved over to using Ubuntu so still with Open Office but Zip
Script is not an option now. not even in wine.
So the time has come to bite the built as it where and face that fact
the open office needs a new extension, or Linux a universal Bible
text inserter.
I have no programming experience except in HTML PHP and Jave Scritp
for web work so do not know where to start, but I want to write or
preferably work with a team to write an open office extension to
insert Bible text into open office documents. writer and impress
probably are the only ones that needed it.
I believe it would be a great service to preachers, teachers and to
Christian authors to be able to type a Bible reference e.g. Gen 1:1-3
and then press a short key say [Alt] + [B] and the reference will be
expanded to the full text something like this:
"1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2. And
the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was
light." Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV)
There are some refinements that could be made, life chose of Bible,
where the reference goes are verse numbers to be included etc, but
that gives you the idea. Any advice you can give would be very much
appreciated.
