Early photography marked a revolutionary shift in capturing and preserving visual moments, presenting both significant advances and notable limitations. One key advancement was the invention of the daguerreotype by Louis Daguerre in 1839. This process allowed for the creation of detailed and permanent images on a silver-coated copper plate, providing a level of precision and clarity previously unattainable.
Advances in early photography also included the development of the calotype by William Henry Fox Talbot. This technique utilized a light-sensitive paper negative, allowing for multiple prints to be made from a single negative. The calotype introduced a more practical and versatile approach to photography, fostering the reproduction and distribution of images on a broader scale.
However, these early photographic methods came with limitations. Firstly, the complex and time-consuming processes involved posed challenges for both photographers and subjects. Long exposure times required subjects to remain still for extended periods, making candid or spontaneous shots nearly impossible. Additionally, the bulkiness of equipment made mobility an issue, restricting photography to studio settings or controlled environments.
Furthermore, the lack of color representation in early photography was a notable limitation. The images produced were monochromatic, conveying a sense of reality but lacking the vibrancy and nuance of color. This limitation persisted until the later development of color photography, which significantly expanded the artistic and expressive possibilities of the Early photography marked a revolutionary shift in capturing and preserving visual moments, presenting both significant advances and notable limitations.

This limitation persisted until the later development of color photography, which significantly expanded the artistic and expressive possibilities of the medium.
Another constraint was the fragility of early photographs. Daguerreotypes, for instance, were susceptible to tarnishing and damage. This made preservation and storage challenging, limiting the lifespan of these images. The advent of more stable photographic materials in the late 19th century addressed this concern, contributing to the longevity of photographic archives.
In conclusion, early photography brought about groundbreaking advances that transformed the way we perceive and document the world. The daguerreotype and calotype processes opened new possibilities for visual representation, yet they were accompanied by limitations such as lengthy exposure times, lack of mobility, absence of color, and the fragility of photographic materials. These limitations, however, served as challenges to be overcome in the subsequent evolution of photography, paving the way for the dynamic and diverse medium we know today. medium.

Installation
Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager.
Alternatively, refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually:
- Unzip the file
- drop the contents into your
…/lib/plugins/directory and upload to your server. - Any existing pages will need to be re-built (no change to the page is required, but rebuilding gives DokuWiki a chance to re-parse your text)
PHP 7 and above
In the file syntax.php change the folowing lines:
from
public function render($mode, &$renderer, $data) {
in:
public function render($mode, $renderer, $data) {
from
public function handle($match, $state, $pos, &$handler){
in
public function handle($match, $state, $pos, $handler){
Examples/Usage
Simply write valid bible verse addresses in the text body of your page:
====== PlayGround ====== \\ As seen in the bible, Mark 3:1 , He tests his wiki code. Not HTML code.\\ Lets try some more: 1 Machabees 1:1, and maybe Amos 2:2 and how about 2 Peter 1:1; Romans 3:3\\ Good? \\ Mark 3:3\\ Mark 1:1\\ Mark 2:22-25\\ Amos 1:1-25\\ Mark 3:1-5 \\ Okay, all is good.
Results in a Rendered Page.jpg where hovering over links look like:
Syntax
To quote Mark chapter 3, verse one:
Mark 3:1
To quote Mark chapter 3, verse one through 9:
Mark 3:1-9
To quote Second Kings chapter 11 verse 8:
2 Kings 11:8
Configuration and Settings
No custom configurations have been added. But that'd be great. You should add some (bible edition, language?).
Development
syntax.php is the only workhorse file, and is heavily commented for easy modification. It contains all 6 required functions and one custom function of my own at the bottom.
To add new translations of the bible:
- create a directory for the bible text files (like “bible_NAB”).
- Separate the bible by chapter into separate text files called CHAPTER.txt, using underscores for spaces (like “1_Kings.txt”).
- Make sure that each verse of the bible is a separate line that looks like 'CHAPTER#:VERSE#. CONTENT' (like “1:1. In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.”).
- Now modify syntax.php to set the variable $validBibleBooksArr to contain the valid books (I use 73 for the Catholic bible, but Protestant bibles have only 66 books).
- Modify syntax.php to correct $filename to point to your bible text files instead of “bible_douayRheims/”

Known Bugs and Issues
Listing a match in the regexp that is an invalid bible verse will cause a warning/error to print out at the top of your page. This is by design, but it might be preferable to just ignore those.
For example:
Genesis 7782:448448
ToDo/Wish List
- More translations of the bible would be great.
- Configuration options for choosing the desired translation would be great.
