Template talk:Verse

Can some other color beside blue be used? It makes people think it is a link. --Pmsyyz 12:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I made it blue at User:Zhaladshar's request on the Scriptorium; it's possible to over-ride the colour using the  parameter. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 12:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

2010 reboot
I am also concerned that these labels look exactly like links. I have previously used a sea green colour (it's an HTML colour at #2E8B57) for an almost identical purpose in another template, as it is unobtrusive but easily distinguished from normal black text, and doesn't look like a link (dark and light blue both suffer from this, as light blue is an external link).

 * I have often thought the default colour should be changed, I just tried clicking one again! :-) I changed the colour, noting a problem, to match Pline. I don't use either of them much, but I do use the chapter/verse linking in the King James version. Cygnis insignis (talk) 20:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect #if in template
There is an error in this template. It currently looks like this:

 undefined 

But it should look like this:

 undefined 

The missing parameter reference prevents this usage:    Doing it that way causes the id to be set to "1" instead of "1:1".

 * Ahhh. I missed that. Have fixed it now. Jude (talk) 11:41, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

You should use CSS rather than direct styles
I would make the template read as follows: 

You would also need the following CSS classes added to the stylesheet: .verse-number-left { position:absolute; color:sea-green; vertical-align:super; }

.verse-number { color:sea-green; vertical-align:super; } Will Pittenger (talk) 14:52, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Appearance
Could this template be expanded to offer additional formatting? Here is an example of verse number within brackets, convenient when the verse number is inline. --Jerome Charles Potts (talk) 14:09, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
