This is a test to see if the Sefaria linking works. @ArtOfCode says just make things that look like references. So I suppose Genesis 1:1 should give me the first Pasuk of the Torah. Let's see...

A previous draft here had an experiment. After digging through the code for the Linker I can confidently say that a complete answer to the question of "what can I link to" is "anything on Sefaria," but you have to be careful how you write it out. Here is the actual code for the Linker; if you scroll down or search the document for "var bookTitles" you'll see a full list of every variation on the text name that you can use. Or if you're not insane like me you can look at the documentation on GitHub.

Of course, our ever-helpful overlords here have implemented a "suggest reference" button. With that, all you have to do is select some text in your post, click the button, and it'll look for similarly-worded sources which you might've meant.

Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs of the Nations 3:5 as a test. It works but requires the full title string.

As far as the edit preview, I think that would be a bit of a problem. I took a quick look at the Sefaria API docs earlier, and I am pretty sure there is a way we can force a fresh analysis of the page, which should work with the Preview. However, doing that on every character would be a bit impractical. Two options: 1 - Only do this if there is a monitored delay (e.g., no typing for 10 seconds), 2 - Add a button to trigger it.

@manasseh Ah, so it was the comma messing me up with the Rambam. I hear the difficulty with implementing the preview; maybe something to put on the back burner for a future time then. Does the API support, for example, adding a button to the menu bar to browse texts to cite, or would that also be too complicated to work out?

You can read more about how the Linker works at https://www.sefaria.org/linker and the GitHub project linked there.
