A tool for finding possible scripture citations in free text, normalizing the name, and group the text according to their ranges.
if the text has the following citation: 1 Cor. 4:3, 5, 6-7; 5:1-4, the results will be:
1 Corinthians 4: 3
1 Corinthians 4: 5
1 Corinthians 4: 6 - 4: 7
1 Corinthians 5: 1 - 5: 4
The structs for these formats could easily be wrapped up in TEI, or some other form of Markup.
To run this: clone this repo, navigate to the directory and run cargo run -- /path/to/file.txt.
The scripture citations will be printed in the terminal.
Things that still need to be finished off.
- Validate the number range to be certain it isn't impossible (like Exodus 50:234, etc)
- Prepackage the data Structures (the book library), so that the script can be run in any directory
- Tweak and test the scripture regular expression scripts so that it works more broadly (especially older German, French and Spanish material)
- Ability to ingest PDFs
