On this page you'll find useful tips and tricks as well as guidelines for inserting data into the tables!

Guides

Special Abilities with levels

Usually, if special abilities can have multiple levels, it's stated in the prerequisites that the next level requires to buy the previous level. This is handled automatically, so please do not insert that as an actual prerequisite in the univ table.

At the time of writing, the corresponding text is not displayed within the app, but this is gonna be fixed.

Markdown

You might notice that some columns list markdown as the type to use for the column. But what is Markdown?

Markdown is an easy-to-use formatting language. You can do basic text formatting with Markdown, like you can do with HTMl, for example – but it is waay easier to use, as you don't need to learn a lot of syntax and tags. You're probably familiar with text formatting in chat apps. You can surround phrases with _ or * or something else to make them appear italic or bold. Markdown is also that easy.

By the way, this document is written in Markdown.

You can check out markdownguide.org to see what you can do with Markdown. If you need an introduction, there are further helpful pages on the site.

There are a few limitations, though:

  • The app's implementation of Markdown does not accept HTML tags! HTML tags will be rendered as a normal text if you use them!
  • Use \n characters for line breaks instead of real line breaks in Excel – they would cause some issues. Also please make sure you did not copy line breaks into Excel and did not convert them to \n.
  • Also use the styles of the text you copy (like italic or bold texts and lists)! See the source books if there are no styles in online TDE Game Reference/Regel-Wiki.
  • "Style Guide"
    • Please use - for unordered lists.
    • Please use ** for strong/bold text.
    • Please use * for italic text.

You can't display uppercase and small caps properly in Markdown, so there are two HTML-Tags for spells' and chants' names:

Spells:

<span class="name--spell">Flim Flam</span>

Chants:

<span class="name--chant">Banish Light</span>
