User:FollowTheGourd/Designer Tags

Scratch page. Will format better once I have more useful information on the page (like not using dascript tags for a box). There'll be some overlap in their use between the codex and conversations, so maybe it's better if I just wrote this for the codex instead since the conversations article already has its own write-up on this.

Codex

<summary>

Text between this tag seems to define a comment as it doesn't appear in the codex entry, and so shouldn't have an empty line below it.

It's commonly found at the top of the codex plot entry.

Example:

<summary>On the archdemon.</summary>
A pretty scary fellow.

<attrib>

Italicizes text. Used for attribution of the codex entry's source and usually has an empty line above and below it as necessary to separate it from other text.

Example:

And mightily he did ask for more water to go with his bread.
 
<attrib>--Transcribed from a wet dinner napkin, 5:46 Exalted.</attrib>

<emp>

The text is bolded for emphasis. Often used as a header in creature codex plots with multiple flags.

Example:

Plot cod_crt_dragon_example.plo:
 
Plot flag: COD_CRT_DRAGON_UNLOCKED
<emp>Dragons</emp>
They breath fire.
 
Plot flag: COD_CRT_DRAGONLING_UNLOCKED
<emp>Drakes</emp>
They make for good armor.
