links: Start connecting Scripture

The Basics of connecting

You can connect Scripture in three ways: Linking, embedding and back links.

Linking

This is the very fabric of practicing Connected Biblical Thinking and reaping the Benefits of Connected Biblical Thinking.

As you would link any other note, establish a link to a specific verse using the [[]] syntax and then hitting # (for a link to a header) and reference the verse. Example: v1.

You can also set a display text, using the pipe (|): In the beginning

Embedding

Embed a verse (or chapter) by prefacing it with ! as such:

v6

For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

Link to original

Using various CSS tweaks, you can prettify the embed.

Back links

Open these two scriptures in a new note: v1 and v6.

In the right hand panel, you can see all notes in which those passages are linked. This is a real game changer. Now, whenever you open a passage, you can see all of your thoughts on it! It’s like margin notes on steroids.

As you can see here, Connecting simplifies retrieving.
