Talarius Has a Big Upgrade!

The two most obvious changes are the new login screen, and support for spellcheck in the Visual and Markdown editors! I'll be highlighting some of the other new features over the next few days, but feel free to look around and discover them yourself!

New Login Screen

The login screen has a facelift and now supports two-factor authentication!

Additionally, new users will be redirected to a special welcome page so they know what's going on while the admins verify their account.

Spellcheck

Spellcheck is now available in the Visual editor as well as the Markdown editor!

In the visual editor, spellcheck works continuously to highlight mistakes:

In the markdown editor, click the A-checkmark button on the right and spellcheck will check your work! Misspelled words will be highlighted in the preview pane on the right:


Example Boxes and Table Styling

New today is the Example Box! A nice, standout area for putting example text. Especially useful for rule pages.

Additionally, it's easier to tell apart table sections, and table titles have a sweet new appearance!

Enjoy!

New Features Released!

We have a bunch of new features to announce! Most of them relate to Markdown pages.

  • The markdown editor has controls for more elements
    1. Game cards are in the Blockquote menu
    2. Link lists and grid lists are in the List menu
  • Words can now be highlighted
  • Tables can be made much more complex
  • You can add description lists

Check out the new hotness in the Advanced Markdown guide!

Better Game Summary Cards

The game summaries on the front page now have their own styling! Right now, it can only be used on a markdown page. The following code is an example card:

> ## [Game Title](/games/game-name)
> **System:** System Name
> **GM:** GM's name
> **Summary:** A brief summary or pitch for the game.
> Keep it to a few short sentences.
{.is-game}

And it renders as this card:

New Game Template

We have a basic template for creating the landing page for a game! It uses the Markdown editor for access to advanced features, but that shouldn’t be too much of a barrier.

To use it, click From Template when creating a new page and pick /templates/new-game
