Custom Timelines Are Go!

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!

Dark mode enhancements and new formatting

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!

Page Conversion

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.

Big Additions to the Markdown Editor!

The markdown editor has gotten some love in this update, including some new buttons and formatting options.

  • Added underline, highlight, and to-do list buttons
  • Added paragraph option in headers menu to remove current header
  • Reorganized buttons to more closely match the visual editor's layout

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:

  • Square bracket: [
  • Curly bracket: {
  • Parenthesis: (
  • Asterisk: *
  • Underscore: _
  • Tilde: `
  • Single quote: '
  • Double quote: "

Other Improvements

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.

Log Out and In to Edit

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.

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!
