      <description><![CDATA[<p>I recently realized that I never actually put any design effort into the <a href="https://bencrowder.net/mormon/scriptures-in-word/">scriptures in Word</a>. Pretty lackluster:</p>
<p><figure class="border">
        <img src="https://cdn.bencrowder.net/blog/2017/10/book-of-mormon-word-before.png" alt="book-of-mormon-word-before.png" title="book-of-mormon-word-before.png" />
        
      </figure></p>
<p>So I’m now redesigning them. The Book of Mormon is done and released as version 2.0:</p>
<p><figure class="border">
        <a href="https://bencrowder.net/mormon/scriptures-in-word/"><img src="https://cdn.bencrowder.net/blog/2017/10/book-of-mormon-word-after.png" alt="book-of-mormon-word-after.png" title="book-of-mormon-word-after.png" /></a>
        
      </figure></p>
<p>I’m still working on the other volumes and hope to release them soon.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Book of Mormon in Word redesigned">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>At someone’s request, I recently put together <a href="https://bencrowder.net/books/religious/scriptures-in-word/">Microsoft Word editions of the LDS standard works</a>, for use as study aids. (The person who requested it is using Word to highlight, annotate, and add footnotes/endnotes.) Verse numbers are included.</p>
<h3 id="processforthecurious">Process (for the curious)</h3>
<p>I downloaded <a href="http://scriptures.nephi.org/">an SQLite version of the scriptures</a> and wrote a Python script to extract the text in the right order, with markers for the headings. I then copied and pasted the whole thing into Word.</p>
<p>In Word, I did some wildcard-based find-and-replacing to remove the heading markers and apply the appropriate styles, and then I added a hanging indent so the verse numbers are less obtrusive.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Scriptures in Word">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
