A simple way to load, read, and present texts from various Source Text libraries.

This is a companion library to the [Source Text Parser](https://github.com/UrbanMonastics/Source-Text-Parser) library.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Quickly load one or many source text libraries
- Navigate to desired texts or segments and render them for display.
-

Adding to your Project
----------------------

[](#adding-to-your-project)

Install the composer package:

```
composer require UrbanMonastics/SourceTextLibrary
```

Example Usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

In the most simple approach you can pass text to be parsed.

```
$SourceTextLibrary = new /UrbanMonastics/SourceTextLibrary();

echo $SourceTextLibrary->text("Hello *Source Parser*!");  # prints: Hello Source Parser!
```

You can also take advantage of the structure of the source texts.

```
$SourceTextLibrary = new SourceTextLibrary();

// Load the source data into the parser
$Source = json_decode( file_get_contents('path/to/source.json'), true );
$SourceTextLibrary->loadSource( $Source );

$SourceTextLibrary->loadText();

echo $SourceTextLibrary->text("Hello *Source Parser*!");  # prints: Hello Source Parser!

// Clear the loaded Source and Texts - without altering other options
$SourceTextLibrary->clearSource();
```
