New Formatting Options: Horizontal Rule, Ordered/Unordered Lists, Small Caps

[JochenL]

Code for horizontal rules

To get a horizontal rule, start the line with two dashes "--" and don't add any more text to that line.

First Line
--
Second Line

Ordered and unordered lists

Simply start consecutive lines with "# " and you'll get an ordered list.

# First entry
# Second entry
# Third entry

Simply start consecutive lines with "- " and you'll get an unordered list.

- First entry
- Second entry
- Third entry

Small caps format for text

Small caps ueses text-transforms: {|SmallCaps|scaps}
Of course, you can combine this formatting like underline: {u|SmallCaps|scaps}

I also updated the public formatting stream with the new options: https://campaign-logger.com/#/stream/434895b46f9e47d29e3f0d9518e32c7e

For me, this update is huge! (And I haven't yet fully recovered from the impact of image support, either...) Especially the list formatting will be extremely useful, and the horizontal line is great for generators producing walls of text.

And the syntax still remains compact and easy to use, great job!

These new formatting options are now available on the Campaign Logger cheat sheet as well:

You are awesome @ELF! Thank you.

Thank you!

Looks lovely indeed.

Can the new formatting create nested lists?

 

[JochenL]

No, not yet.

 

[Hannu]

hmmm. what exactly is the syntax for horizontal line in a generator. I have tried
{b|Undead #1}\r{event} --\r\r{b|Undead #2}\r{event}\r\r
and
{b|Undead #1}\r{event} \r\r--{b|Undead #2}\r{event}\r\r

Neither of which produce the horizontal line in the dialog nor on the campaign log...

To get a horizontal rule, start the line with two dashes "--" and don't add any more text to that line.

\r\n--\r\n

Although it must be said that I see the vertical space but not the horizontal line.

 

[Hannu]

Hmmm. now I see it - very very dimly there is a line visible in the log... Should there be a bit more weight / thickness on the line

Perhaps the "--" plus no more text should be visible in the cheatsheet and above trick documented somewhere...

You are right! I guess my display resolution is better than I thought.

Perhaps the "--" plus no more text should be visible in the cheatsheet and above trick documented somewhere...

I added a short clarification to the cheat sheet. Documentation would not be a bad idea either.

I can't get the horizontal rules to show up in the current versions of Chrome and Edge.

Try two N dashes.

And make sure there's a line break on top and bottom. It's especially finicky around lists.

Hellow World.
