Features

Simple and Fast Search

This is the syntax to make searching easier:

One Two

This search argument markes every result containing «One» and «Two». The order does not matter.

"One Two"

This search argument markes every result containing exactly «One Two».

Go *

The * sign means that it can be followed or started by any word character.

GEN 1,1

To get text passages, type its name in the standart bible notation.

Word @ GEN

To get words in just a passage.

Write Notes

You can open a note for a verse by clicking the circle button next to the verse header.

You can write notes using Markdown.

Strong Search

You can search for strong numbers by right-click on a word and clicking Strong Search. This feature is only available for sources containing strong numbers.

Compare Sources

With the source tabs you can view several sources at once. This feature makes it possible to see the other versions of a passage.

Build

If you do not want to build LibreTextus by yourself, just get it from the snap-store To build it by yourself, do the following:

First of all you need following libraries:

• cmake
• build-essential
• gettext
• boost-regex
• boost-program-options
• rapidxml
• gtkmm

You need to clone the source:

git clone https://github.com/LibreTextus/LibreTextus.git

Then compile the source with CMake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

Now you can run LibreTextus by typing:

./LibreTextus

@import "template.css";

@define-color theme_text_color #HEX-CODE;
@define-color theme_text_background_color #HEX-CODE;
@define-color theme_background_color #HEX-CODE;

}
