Event Descriptions
An event description is everything after the date range of the event, up to the next event. Event descriptions can span multiple lines. For 12/2012: End of the world
, the event description is just End of the world
. For the following event:
1961: Year after 1960
Later, 1962 would happen
the event description is
Year after 1960
Later, 1962 would happen
Everything not on the first line (where the date range is specified) up to the next event will be put in an overflow box that can be expanded by clicking on the event. Such an overflow is indicated in the timeline with an ellipsis (...). Event descriptions can include tags, links, locations, photos, and references.
Tags
Events can be tagged to visually indicate they belong to some category. Simply add your tag text in any part of an event's description to tag it:
2022: Happy 95th Birthday Queen Elizabeth #UK #Royalty
A list of all tags appears at the bottom of the screen to allow for filtering by tags.
Links
Links are similar to markdown links: link display text in brackets followed by the url in parentheses:
2018 - 3 years: [Google](www.google.com)
Locations
Events can have zero or more locations associated with them, indicated with the following syntax: [name of location](map|location)
