Snippets

Editor snippets insert common Markdown formatting without typing the syntax from memory — colored blockquotes, tables, images, and full Compendium blocks.

How to use them

While editing a page, type a snippet's prefix (below) and accept the suggestion that pops up. If it doesn't appear on its own, press Ctrl+Space (Windows/Linux) or Control+Space (Mac) to bring it up. Most snippets have tab stops — press Tab to jump between the parts you'd want to fill in — and some show a dropdown to pick a class from a list instead of typing it by hand.

These are the same for every project, regardless of theme — but a formatting snippet's class names (.paper, .blue, ...) are only guaranteed to look right under the current 5.5e theme.

Compendium content

  • mpx-spell / mpx-item / mpx-monster — a complete inline block, every field with sensible empty defaults. See Managing the Compendium.

Blockquote variants

  • mpx-read — a read-aloud text box.
  • mpx-paper — a parchment-style note.
  • mpx-flavortext — flavor text.
  • mpx-large-quote — a large centered pull-quote.
  • mpx-blockquote — a plain blockquote with a bold title.

Layout and formatting

  • mpx-flowchart — a flowchart step (a dropdown picks the plain or linked variant).
  • mpx-image — an image, with a dropdown for caption/float/center/full-width.
  • mpx-text — a paragraph with alignment (center/left/right).
  • mpx-table — a small example table, with a dropdown for color or layout.
  • mpx-roll-table — a table pre-formatted to be auto-detected as a roll table. See Roll Tables.

Text color

No snippet yet for this one — the classes exist, but you type them by hand: wrap the text in ==...== (color only), **...** (color + bold), or *...* (color + italic), then add a class:

==dripping with venom=={.text-red}

Available colors: text-blue, text-green, text-red, text-orange, text-yellow, text-gray, text-purple, text-teal, text-magenta, text-signature, text-black.

Next step

Themes — what each color class actually looks like, and the rest of what a theme controls.
