Patch notes 2.11: Literature
2025-02-25 16:54
Finally, the long awaited literature update is here!
There are two main components of this update:
Firstly, text submissions may now be created. BoxCodes have been enabled outside of custom boxes, and new ones have been added to allow text styling ([[B]]bolding[[/B]], [[U]]underlines[[/U]], etc.). They may be inserted through the new text editor!
Secondly, gallery folders may now be converted into "Literature" folders. If a member has a literature folder, they will receive a new tab in their navbar for their literature gallery.
Submissions within a literature folder will become part of a Table of Contents and navigation buttons linking them together will be added to their pages.
If a literature folder is placed into another literature folder, it will be rendered as a sub-section and removed from the top of the literature gallery (This can be used to organize chapters, books, etc. that are part of an overarching work).
If a non-literature folder is placed into a literature folder, it will be rendered as a "Resource" (this can be used to append further materials such as refsheets, maps, etc.).
Summary with further features:
- BoxCodes are now available throughout the site (in comments, notes, journals, descriptions..).
- New text editor, available for journals and text submissions.
- Emotes! [[:D]] Now available throughout the site and can be added from the new text editor.
- Submission URLs altered (sorry! Please update your links if you use any).
- Literature folders and literature member pages added. (Folders can be converted on the folder management page or on their individual edit pages)
- Fixed bug causing paused thumbnails of filtered gif submissions to not be blurred.
