BibleTagger scans your posts and pages for Bible references ("John 3:16", "Rom 5:8-10", "1 Cor 13") and turns each one into a link to the passage on
Literal Word, a clean, fast, distraction-free Bible website. Hovering (or tapping) a tagged reference shows the verse text in a small popup, so readers can see the passage without leaving your page.
Features:
- Recognizes standard reference formats, including abbreviations ("Rom", "1 Cor") and verse ranges
- Hover popup with the verse text; links open the full passage in context
- Choose the translation: NASB (1995), LSB, ESV, NKJV, or KJV
- Light, dark, or system popup theme
- Skips references inside headings, links, and code, and any areas you exclude
- No account, no API key, nothing to configure on the Literal Word side
Try it before installing:
