Wiki Editor Guide

Master the collaborative block editor.

The Wiki is Grimoire's collaborative document editor. Create rich, formatted content with blocks, slash commands, and real-time collaboration.

Understanding Blocks

The wiki uses a block-based editor. Each block is an independent unit of content that can be moved, styled, and controlled individually.

Block Types

Text Blocks:

• Paragraph: Regular text content
• Headings: H1, H2, H3 for structure
• Quote: Highlighted quoted text
• Callout: Attention-grabbing boxes with icons

List Blocks:

• Bullet List: Unordered items
• Numbered List: Ordered items

Media Blocks:

• Image: Embedded pictures with size/alignment options
• Media + Text: Side-by-side image and text layout
• Divider: Visual separator

Special Blocks:

• Page: Create nested sub-pages
• Database: Embed an inline database table

Slash Commands

Type / anywhere to open the command menu. Start typing to filter.

Quick Reference

• /h1, /heading1 - Large heading
• /h2, /heading2 - Medium heading
• /h3, /heading3 - Small heading
• /bullet, /ul - Bullet list
• /numbered, /ol - Numbered list
• /quote - Quote block
• /callout - Callout box
• /divider, /hr - Horizontal line
• /image - Image upload
• /media - Media + Text block
• /page - Nested page
• /database - Inline database

Tips

• Press Enter to select the first result
• Press Escape to close the menu
• Keep typing to filter options

Text Formatting

Use keyboard shortcuts or markdown syntax:

• Bold: Ctrl/Cmd + B or text
• Italic: Ctrl/Cmd + I or *text*
• Code: Ctrl/Cmd + E or backticks
• Link: Ctrl/Cmd + K or text

Block Visibility

Each block can have its own visibility setting:

• Common Knowledge: Everyone can see (green icon)
• Player Knowledge: Players and GM see (blue icon)
• DM Secret: Only the GM sees (red icon)
• Inherit: Uses parent page visibility

Changing Visibility

1. Hover over a block to reveal the toolbar
2. Click the visibility icon (eye)
3. Select the desired level

Use Cases:

• Add DM-only notes to player-visible pages
• Include secret information in public locations
• Track PC secrets without them seeing each other's

Real-Time Collaboration

The wiki supports multiple simultaneous editors.

Presence Indicators

• Colored avatars show who's viewing
• Amber badge indicates GM presence
• Typing dots show active editing

Collaboration Features

• Cursor Tracking: See where others are working
• Live Updates: Changes appear instantly
• Conflict-Free: No overwrites or merge conflicts

Best Practices

1. Communicate: Let others know what you're editing
2. Work on different sections: Avoid the same block
3. Save frequently: Changes sync automatically, but save creates a checkpoint

Page Organization

Creating Pages

1. Use the sidebar "+" button
2. Or type /page in a block to create a linked page

Page Hierarchy

• Pages can have sub-pages
• Drag and drop in sidebar to reorganize
• Use this for categories like "Locations/Cities/Millbrook"

Linking Pages

• Type [[ to search for pages to link
• Links show as clickable text
• Hover to preview linked content

Keyboard Shortcuts

• New block below: Enter
• New block above: Shift + Enter
• Delete block: Backspace (empty block)
• Indent: Tab
• Outdent: Shift + Tab
• Move block up: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Up
• Move block down: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Down
• Open slash menu: /
• Search pages: Ctrl/Cmd + P

Tips & Tricks

1. Templates: Create template pages and duplicate them
2. Quick formatting: Type # for headings, - for bullets
3. Drag handles: Grab the six-dot handle to reorder blocks
4. Turn into: Right-click any block to change its type
5. Player view: Use "View as Player" to see what players see
