Linking to the Libronix BDAG, EDNT, and TDNT also.
Written by jdarlack on August 11th, 2007In the previous post on linking to the LSJ, I forgot to note that you can also link to BDAG, EDNT and TDNT using a similar set up.
To do this, you would have to replace the last set of numbers with the
appropriate code.
libronixdls:macro|name=TextKeyLink|text=<dummy>|lang=el|scheme=beta|res=LLS:46.30.25Replace the red text given in the code box above with the appropriate red text below:
46.30.18 (for BDAG)
46.10.26 (for EDNT)
46.10.16 (for TDNT)
You would have to make a new entry in the ELM for each dictionary.
Now, to find the appropriate code in Libronix yourself is easy. Open up the resource you wish to link to, and then either click Alt+Ctrl+C, or go to the “Favorites” menu and select “Copy Location to Clipboard.” Then paste the text into MSWord or a text editor. For instance, the link to the “New American Standard Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Dictionaries” is:
libronixdls:jump%7Cpos%3DLLS-AOL%253A153%253CTITLE%253E.0.0%7Cres%3DLLS%253A46.10.12Now you can see a bunch of gobbledygook* in the link above (% signs followed by letters & numbers instead of dashes & slashes, spaces, etc.). A little trick to get rid of the gobbledygook is to paste the text into the “Hex Value” field of this ASCII converter and click the “Decode Hex to ASCII” button. You may have to copy and paste the resultant code (that appears in the “ASCII Text” field) back into the “Hex Value” field a second time and click the “Decode Hex to ASCII” button yet again to get it to display the code without the gobbelty-gook. When you’re all done, the resultant link will look like this:
libronixdls:jump|pos=LLS-AOL:153<TITLE>.0.0|res=LLS:46.10.12The last part of the link above (in red) represents the “name” of the resource in Libronix to which you are building the link. Note that the same numbers are available at the end of the link before you got rid of the gobbledygook.
For a very helpful explanation of how the links work in general (and how to link Scripture references as well) read the documentation on the Logos site.
* gobbledygook (ˈgä-bəl-dē-ˌgu̇k, -ˌgük) = terminus technicus for code found “under the hood” of the snazzy programs installed on your computer.

I’ve got the TDNT abridged. I don’t have the “Copy Location to Clipboard” option in Favorites nor does the Ctrl+Alt+C option work. In the Logos Help files that has to do with Power Tools Addin and I haven’t been able to figure out to add that either. Any help?

I’m not sure what to tell you. You may want to either contact Logos or hunt through their support files for info.

I’d like to take issue with this statement:
Now, to find the appropriate code in Libronix yourself is easy. Open up the resource you wish to link to, and then either click Alt+Ctrl+C, or go to the “Favorites” menu and select “Copy Location to Clipboard.”
I’m having a hard time finding the right codes to link various resources in Libronix to BW. When I open a resource and go to favorites, there is no “copy location to clipboard” option (the only options are “add to favorites” “organize favorites” and “bookmarks”; nor does ctrl/alt/c while the resoruce is open copy the location to my clipboard.

Eric, I’m not sure what to tell you. Take a look at the Logos website:
here and here. One thing I notice is that you must have the power user plugin installed in Libronix, so you may want to look into that.

Hi - I may be a little late to ask this, but can you also link to HALOT? I’ve tried, but the link will go to the book in Libronix but not the individual word… Any help appreciated! BDAG works just as you said, great stuff!

This process works great! I do have one question:
What about linking to an English dictionary or other resource? What would you place in the boxes at the top of the ELM?

How can we do the same with Gesenius Lexicon in Libronix?
