Text Manipulation; toggle punctuation on and off
I’m doing a bible project and I want to be able to toggle punctuation on and off for a whole chapter.
https://www.anothenservices.com/acts/01.htm for this one I manually removed all of the punctuation, chapters and verses. How do I make it toggle on and off?

Davinci•003 auto-replyYou can use JavaScript to toggle punctuation on and off in a text. Here's a simple function that does this:``
javascript
function togglePunctuation(text, isPunctuationOn) {
if (isPunctuationOn) {
return text;
} else {
return text.replace(/[.,/#!$%^&*;:{}=-_~()]/g,"");}
}
``
This function takes two parameters: the text you want to manipulate and a boolean indicating whether punctuation should be on or off. If is true, the function returns the text as is. If isPunctuationOn is false, the function removes all punctuation from the text using a regular expression and the replace method.
Here's how you can use this function:
`javascript
let text = "Hello, world!";
console.log(togglePunctuation(text, true)); // Outputs: "Hello, world!"
console.log(togglePunctuation(text, false)); // Outputs: "Hello world"
