Seltani: Rearranging the gallery

[belford]

I got distracted, so it was down for several hours more than necessary -- sorry. Back up now, anyhow.

[KathAveara]

Finally trying my hand at writing once again. I've a new Age in the works, Hahzahprad Island. To begin with, it'll be eye-candy, but I'll work in puzzles soon enough. I'll also look into producing a procedurally generated environment, though I feel someone may have to show me how to do this. Elahto will have to wait for a while.

@Belford: It may not hurt to 'reannounce' Seltani to the internet. I'm under the impression that there's very little traffic now.

[KathAveara]

With reference to this journal design, how do I put line breaks in the text?

[belford]

parabreak() in code, or [$para] in text. There is no line-break other than a paragraph break.

[KathAveara]

I tried that, but it either breaks the interpolation, or it just passes straight through to the output. Note that this is the text inside the list, in the value property.

[belford]

Okay... I'm not logged in so I don't know if this will be right...

The contents of journal_data are displayed with the interpolation

Code: Select all

[$em][[(journal_data)[min(player.journal_page, len(journal_data))-1] ]][$/em]

This treats them as simple strings, which is what they natively are. Try changing that line to:

Code: Select all

[$em][[text((journal_data)[min(player.journal_page, len(journal_data))-1]) ]][$/em]

Then square brackets in the journal will be treated as markup code rather than taken literally.

[KathAveara]

It works now! Thanks Belford. I'll also go update that sample code.

[Pavitra]

I've been away for way too long -- I logged in and there were a bunch of new Ages!

[belford]

'Tis true. Ryan Veeder even ran a few tours of Bluedorn over the holidays, which was fun.

[Pavitra]

I'm sorry I missed that.

Is there an announcement channel, or otherwise a way to know when people are/will be on, besides staying logged in in a background tab all day?
