What Is the Details Section?
The Details section is the primary document and information hub for any item in Abound Worlds. It is designed to store and organize all the essential information about an item in a structured and visually appealing format. This section uses customizable panels to present your content in an intuitive way.
Structure of the Details Section
The Details section is organized into panels, notes, and variables.
Panels
Panels contain a heading and row sections. This modular design allows you to tailor the information layout to suit the needs of each item. The row section types include:
- Title: Highlights key names, deisgnations, or identifiers. For example, "Fireball".
- Text: Used for paragraphs of descriptive or narrative content.
- Attributes: Displays a list of key-value pairs for quick reference. For example, "Population: 12,000".
- Diagram: Embeds visual diagrams to represent complpex information. For example, an organizational hierarchy.
- Table: Presents tabular data in rows and columns for structured datasets.
- Images: Adds visual context with uploaded images. For example, maps, character portraits, or ability gifs.
Notes
Notes are the perfect place to write your thoughts on a particular item, without needing to worry about organization or formatting
Variables
Variables contain categories that include attribute key-value pairs to store small information that does not require a whole panel section. For example, "Age: 26"
