A warm welcome to you traveler! Have you sought out knowledge about World Anvil’s newest developments? Then you’ve come to the right place! During the last two weeks, Dimitris focused on releasing a brand new guild exclusive feature: Custom Article Templates! Other updates include adding article specific CSS capabilities, more improvements made by Ademal to the Calendars feature, and some theme updates. I present to you the development update rollup for mid-October!
Custom Article Templates
Grandmasters and above can now create standardized templates for your world AND also completely redesign the way the standard templates look and feel! Those who activated Alchemist mode had access to this feature while it was evolving to its final form.
Find and play with this new feature under the Creative’s Studio. Choose any of World Anvil’s standard templates to use as a parent template and go wild my friend!
Dimitris also provided a downloadable ZIP file resource to help those who are looking to design new templates!
Check Out the tutorial!
Article CSS Implementation
Have you ever thought “Is it possible to have even more power over my CSS?”. The answer is YES! Here, have more control over your CSS down to the very article! Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Go to the [Design] tab of the article you want to edit to reach the new Article CSS section!
Calendars Release 0.6.0
Calendars has been continuously getting some TLC with the introduction of new features and the smashing of bugs. This feature is now accessible to all guild members!
We value your feedback
Remember to check out the Codex Guide to Calendars for more information and feel free to leave feedback directly to our developers here! You can even check out their backlog! Huge shoutout to Ademal for providing all the screenshots you are about to see in this WALL of mighty-timey-organizey goodness!
Celestial bodies
You can now see your celestial objects in the calendar and customize their icon, colors, and lore!
Hide Weekdays from view option
Within the [Weekdays] section of the calendar editor, you can toggle if weekday names will appear on the top of a month in the presentation of the calendar.
default render year
If you do not specify a year when embedding a calendar, or you specify 0, then it will instead use the default year you input from the editor.
Compact interface
The entire editor interface now begins collapsed and fields are added dynamically instead of requiring a pre-declaration.
Themes & Design
In case you use any of these, the World theme Galaxy Anvil (made by Sierra) and the Interface theme Terror of the Deep (made by TJ) had some updates recently to their look and feel!
