You high end techhie types probably are already familiar with this, but when I saw it mentioned in the Watercooler I checked it out and found it cool.
So I add my voice to those of them who wish it could be integrated into SC.

I would second that–this is very helpful. It saves having to click through dozens of suttas trying to bracket into the correct sutta on Suttacentral.
I just made this tool that could save people some time converting PTS to sutta numbers: PTS Reference to Sutta Number Converter
It uses the same data as Sebastians one posted here by Gillian but has a search/copy & paste function. Also you should be able to “add it to home screen” and it should work offline too. Any issues let me know on GitHub if you can.
Cool Tool!
The select option works well, when trying to convert D.i.183 for instance (DN9).
But putting that reference into Search as ‘D.i.183’ brings up an error “Please enter a valid book reference”.
So, what kind of syntax should be used when trying to search?
Thanks.
Enter it exactly like you did except seperate the values with spaces not full stops. So ‘D i 183’. Its case insensitive so ‘d i 183’ would return the same results.
Are there any major publications that printed references in the format you tried? Separated by full stops? If so I’ll add support for it.
I was trying to convert the reference from the Pali Text Society Dictionary entry quoted here.
That’s pretty major! It should work now, with the values seperate by fullstops and/or spaces. Thanks!
