Hello all! The latest update to Talarius brings a feature I'm really excited about: timelines!
You can read all about them in the new Timeline Guide! They're only available on markdown pages right now, but there's a chance that will change with future updates.
Cheers!
This release fixes up some color issues when using dark mode. Everything should be more readable for those who prefer a darkened screen! It also tweaks the bulleted list's bullet points to be a bit less overwhelmingly large.
Along with this, there are some new additions to the formatting (all available through markdown): Asides and blockquote citations! Asides are in the Basic Markdown Guide and quote citations are in the Advanced Markdown Guide. The advanced guide also covers a method for adding nifty hovering attributions to images: Image Creator Attribution. Enjoy!
It's now possible to convert a page to use a different editor! Huzzah! Find the Convert option under the Page Actions menu in the top navigation bar.
Today's update is another quality of life improvement for the Markdown Editor! When you're making a list (regardless of checking it one or more times) the editor will now continue your bullets or numbering for you! This makes it much easier to work on lists, since you don't need to keep typing the same prefix over and over again.
This feature works for bulleted lists, numbered lists, and to-do lists. Enjoy!
The markdown editor has gotten some love in this update, including some new buttons and formatting options.
Check it out in the scratchpad!
For more technical users, there's a new way to format sections of text: [span]{.class} syntax! You can see it in action by using the Highlight button.
Speaking of highlighting, there are some new classes for foreground and background text color, as well as highlight color. These have to be added manually for now, so check out the Advanced Markdown Guide for how to use them.
The editor also now allows you to wrap text in certain symbols by selecting the text, and then typing a supported symbol. It's small, but very convenient when editing! The supported symbols are:
The other small change in this release is a tweak to the New Page dialog box. Instead of assuming that your new page will live at the top-most folder, it now starts you below the page that you're on. This should make it much easier to add sub-pages.
With the latest update, you'll need to login to the site again to edit and create pages. As soon as you log out and back in, everything will be enabled again for you.
You can now change the foreground and background color of text within the Visual Editor! Enjoy!
You can now set pages to be published starting and ending on a particular date, or publish it manually to keep the page secret until you're ready:
For especially advanced users, pages can now include their own unique scripts and styling. Use this feature sparingly! If there are scripts or styles you want to use frequently, talk to Pete about adding them to the site's theme!
The markdown editor has a new Insert Diagram button that uses [draw.io](https://app.diagrams.net/) to create and edit complex diagrams.
Your diagrams are stored inside the page itself, so no need to worry about uploading files.
The markdown editor also has a few enhancements to make editing a bit easier. Section Folding lets you collapse big blocks of text to get them out of your way. Folded sections look like this:
Tab sets now show a styled preview instead of unstyled text:
The visual editor now has controls for superscript and subscript:
As well as code blocks and a divider line:
Now you can set border, background, text alignment, and more on individual table cells, as well as an entire table!
As a bonus, there's also a new "insert after table" button in the lower right corner of each table, to make it easier to edit the text nearby:
