Inconvenience with page titles

10 years ago

An example: there is a set of pages in a single dialog with NPC. You need to give a unique title to each page to be able to properly select it in the link editor. At the same time, titles to dialog pages carry no meaning. It's better for a player to either see the same title on all pages (like "Dialog with Bob") or see no titles.

Right now a writer is forced to give some titles and then rename them.

Possible solutions:

- display page IDs before their titles in the "Select destination" listbox, so pages with the same title can be distinguished (this should be very easy to implement).

- give an option to not display a page title.

It will benefit writers (including me) by adding convenience. Consequently, it will benefits readers, who will get more good stuff.

This feature is not very important.

You can do this yourself, if you really want to -- simply use CSS to make the title of each page invisible, then you can put whatever you like in your titles, like the ID number, because the readers will not see them.

Or, you can put the ID# in each title and simply leave them there.

Or, you can put the ID# in each title and when you are ready to publish, remove each one.

"simply use CSS to make the title of each page invisible," - a good idea! :)

"Or, you can put the ID# in each title and when you are ready to publish, remove each one." - giving temporary names was already proposed in the opening post. I think I'll stick with that solution.
