Small text in passage?

mostly useless

Title says it all. I tried the addtag macro, but that makes the text in the main passage small too. Thanks for reading.

Could you post an example TWS?

Erik Temple

You don't say which template you're using, but this is trivial to do in SugarCube, because its display macro allows you to wrap a displayed passage in an html element which automatically gets assigned a class based on the name of the passage. Example, wrapping the displayed passage in a div:

:: Start
It is a sunny day.

<<display "Status" div>>


:: Status
You are feeling fine.


:: Styles [stylesheet]
div.passage-status {
font-size:9px;
}

Unfortunately, though, you can't do this with all passages that share a given tag, it's per-passage only.

Example attached, thank for looking! I'll take a look at Sugarcube, but I'm interested to know if I can do this in Sugarcane. Does anyone know if L's macros are all compatible with Sugarcube? My game's pretty reliant on them. Thanks again.

Erik Temple

I believe that some of the Glorious Trainwrecks macros are rendered unnecessary by SugarCube (e.g., CSS passage transitions will work in SugarCube without a macro), some have been converted (look under Extras here), some don't work at all, and others will work fine or perhaps with limited functionality.

I don't think anybody has done an exhaustive compatibility list.

After looking at your TWS, is there a specific reason you're not doing what you're doing the "normal" way?

Attached is your example "fixed."

Nice! I'd never seen the span stuff before, that IS much easier! ;D

Many thanks.

Sharpe

No problem. I didn't know if you were doing it that way for another reason or not.

This specific example isn't quite as illustrative, since that's true for Twine 1.4 as well.

It seems I have a similar problem.

I installed Twine two days ago and I immediately started making a story.
In fact, I put in twine the "choose-your-own-adventure-like chapter of an old RPG rulebook.
No special character, no fancy CSS.
I tested it and it worked well.
I improved it a little bit yesterday and the test still worked well.
Still no special character and no fancy CSS.
Today, I keep getting the same error message, although I didn't change a bit of the story (see attached picture).

I de-installed and re-installed Twine twice.
I even made another "story" with only 3 passages and 2 links.
The same error occurs.

I read this thread and didn't understand much of was told here (I've got no degree in informatics)
I guess I'm going to uninstall Twine permanently : I don't have time to spend on a program that don't want to run for no reason.

Ooo! What book?

Unfortunately, your problem is entirely dissimilar to this one. You'll get more help from the other thread in which you posted.

<P ALIGN="right">Right aligned text here</P>

Using this method, I'm getting extra whitespace above and below the text. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?

Sharpe

In your stylesheet:

p {margin:0; line-height: 100%;}

Note that </p> is the same as causing a <br>, I'm pretty sure.

mostly useless

Perfect, thanks for the speedy response! My story looks tidy again!

By the way, is there another way I should have been closing the <p> code to not leave a line? The generated webpage throws a "not closed" error if I don't include the </p>.
