I don't think we should focus on recreating the printed book layout so much.  I've tried a few different things in [[Ars Magica 5E Standard Edition, Chapter Nine: Spells|Spells]], none seem to really work well.

Formula template

User:NeilNjae and User:Audrey_Azura thanks for {{Template:Formula template}}! I think standard templates are incredibly useful.

I don't think we should focus on recreating the printed book layout so much. I've tried a few different things in Spells, none seem to really work well. You can see the template and my attempt here Ars_Magica_5E_Standard_Edition,_Chapter_Nine:_Spells#Level_Guidelines for some of the complexities.

My concerns

  1. We don't have the same column constraints as the text, so I think we should not stack the two parts, and have them horizontally next to each other.
  2. I really don't think both parts should be bold, and I'm going to change this so the 2nd part isn't bold.
  3. We need an anchor in the template so the Appendix II entries can link to it.
  4. It's probably too soon to be thinking about text decoration, but being in a template it's easy to change, very cool.

Sidebars

What should be done about sidebars? So far, I've been able to easily incorporate the sidebars into the main doc for Chapter 9 Spells. Most of the time this has actually been better, since the sidebar content in Ch. 9 can be rather far from its related content. Mataglap (talk) 10:29, 9 November 2024 (MST)
