## Опис

TBS Scripture Tagger scans your website content and transforms plain-text Bible 
references (like “John 3:16” or “Genesis 1:1”) into interactive links.
 When users
hover or tap on a reference, a clean tooltip appears with the verse text retrieved
directly from _The Bible Says API_.

This plugin is inspired by tools like Blue Letter Bible’s ScriptTagger, but fully
optimized for modern browsers and multilingual usage (English, Portuguese, and Chinese).

**External Services**
 This plugin can connect to _The Bible Says API_ to fetch 
verse previews. You must explicitly enable this in **Settings  TBS Scripture Tagger**
before any external requests are made.

 * Service: The Bible Says API
 * Service URL: https://content-api.thebiblesays.com
 * Data sent: the Bible reference and detected language code. The browser may also
   include the page URL as a standard referrer header.
 * Terms of Use & Privacy Policy: https://thebiblesays.com/about

**Key Features**
 * Automatically detects and links Bible references. * Displays
hoverable tooltips with verse previews. * Ignores already linked references (optional).*
Excludes specific HTML tags and CSS classes. * Detects user language for correct
book name and API. * Lightweight and fast — no external dependencies. * Compatible
with all major WordPress themes.

**Example**

> Add “John 3:16” or “Genesis 1:1” to any post or page, and the plugin will instantly
> make it interactive.

## Часті питання

### Does this plugin use any external services?

Yes. It can fetch Bible verses from The Bible Says API at https://content-api.thebiblesays.
com, but only after you enable external requests in the plugin settings.

### Where can I find the Terms and Privacy Policy for the external service?

https://thebiblesays.com/about

### Can I use it in other languages?

Yes, it automatically detects if your website is in English (`en`), Portuguese (`
pt`), or Chinese (`zh`) and adjusts accordingly.

### Will it overwrite my existing hyperlinks?

No — by default, the plugin ignores existing `<a>` tags that already contain Bible
references.
 You can toggle this behavior from the settings page.

### Does it slow down my website?

Not at all. The script is lightweight, async-loaded, and optimized for minimal impact
on page performance.
