The Editor

The core feature of VS Code is its editor. This editor allows you to work on text documents in virtually any format.

Considerations

There are a couple of considerations here:

1. Users want a WYSIWYG editor

2. Users want an editor that doesn't annoy them too much

To solve the first problem, we have simply added a code lends button to render the notebook content as something that looks more like a Bible. You can add whitespace structure too, by adding additional blank lines between content. This allows users to structure poetry, quotations, etc., without use of markers.

We also allow ranges of verse references in two different ways:

1. If you put multiple verse references right next to each other, e.g., GEN 1:1 GEN 1:2, then they will be rendered as 1-2.

2. If you leave a verse blank and instead of content put a range marker (<range>), it will be treated as part of the most recent non-range verse.
