This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
Usage
{{#invoke:LDSverse|function name}}
See Template:LDS(edit talk links history) for usage documentation.
-- This module implements the lion's share of the newly-revised-as-of-August-2020 Template:LDS.
local p = {}
-- TODO:
-- Check the verse parameter to make sure it's a number (sometimes users
-- mistakenly include the en dash and ending verse number in this
-- parameter, e.g., {{LDS|Alma|alma|7|11–12}}). If it isn't a number,
-- default to citing to the chapter as a whole?
-- Take out the remaining error statements and handle errors more gracefully.
-- (As of September 2020, many have already been removed, so that's good.)
-- Functions with error statements left in them:
-- getFullBookName
-- handleOD
-- getStandardWork (only throws an error if pre-conditions not met)
-- getLectureOrdinal (only called with pcall)

First: define bomBooks, dcBooks, pogpBooks, lofBooks, and bibleBooks
These tables (one for each Standard Work) are the heart of the module.
They have the following structure:
The key is the "correct" name of the book, defined as how it is titled
on Wikisource
The value for each book is an array of other names it might be known by.
Some of these are standard abbreviations, some are common typos
(e.g., "Revelations"), and some are included to ensure backwards
compatibility with the original {{LDS}} template (e.g., 1_jn).
NB: The values do not contain capitalization variants, as those will
be tested for in the logic (since these tables are already huge).
The tables are then themselves stored in an array titled standardWorks
