Modifiers

All of the below affect the text following them. See Modifiers and Inserts for more information.

[after time]

Causes the text to appear after a certain amount of time has passed after the passage is first displayed.

[align center], [align left], [align right]

Causes the text to be aligned a particular way. Aligning left isn't needed under normal circumstances, but is included for compeleteness's sake--use [continue] instead.

[append]

Used in conjunction with another modifier to have text immediately follow the text preceding it, instead of appearing in a new paragraph.

[continue], [cont'd], [cont]

Clears all previously active modifiers.

[CSS]

Acts like a <style> tag in the passage; the contents of the text will be interpreted as CSS rules instead of normal text.

[else]

Only displays the text if the previous [if] condition was not met. If no previous [if] appeared in the passage's source code, an error occurs.

[if expression]

Only displays the text if expression evaluates to true, or a truthy (as defined by Javascript) value.

[ifalways expression]

Acts like the [if] modifier, except that it always displays the text it affects, regardless of the condition. This can be useful for quick testing.

[ifnever expression]

Acts like the [if] modifier, except that it never displays the text it affects, regardless of the condition. This can be useful for quick testing.

[JavaScript]

Acts like a <script> tag in the passage; the contents of the text will be interpreted as JavaScript code instead of normal text. To write output from inside the text, use the function `write()`.

[note to self], [note], [todo], [fixme]

Causes the text to never be visible to the player. This is useful for leaving notes or other information for yourself.

[unless expression]

Only displays the text if expression evaluates to false, or a falsy (as defined by Javascript) value.
