"Hidden Link": Harlowe (v2.0)

Summary

"Hidden Link" demonstrates how to create a 'hidden' link that is only revealed when the cursor passes over it.

Using CSS and JavaScript, a rule is created for transparent color and applied or removed through using jQuery's on() function with 'mouseenter' and 'mouseleave' events.

The use of a "footer" special Passage is also used to run the required JavaScript after each passage is displayed.

Harlowe supports a number of different techniques for creating links and the resulting HTML elements generated is different for each of these techniques. The generated HTML falls into two main groups: those that include a <<tw-link>> element, and those that include a ".enchantment-link" classed element. This example supports both groups.
