Text Variables

The text variables system allows you to bake a line of formatted text or any text in general into a simple variable that you can input when editing a card, and then have it automatically re-format when displayed on cards. To access the variables panel, hover your mouse in the top-right, and select “Variables”.

When creating a new variable, perhaps you prefer some structure, for example {faction_undead} as the variable, or a less structured variable like simply factionundead. For the formatting field, you can input something like:

• <b>UNDEAD </b><size=130%<voffset=0.3em><sprite=”custom_img2”></voffset></size>

Now, when you simply input {faction_undead} when editing a text element, it will format to UNDEAD with the 5th icon in the text icon picker embedded in the text that is slightly larger than normal, and slightly offset vertically.
