Guides

I spent the past few days fiddling around with Lair Tab Descriptions and ended up with way too many options that I'm never gonna use, so I'm compiling them all here for others to have fun with instead! ^^

• yes these are all free to use!
• yes you can edit them as much as you like!
• no you don't have to credit me or anything it's fine!

Other Useful Info, Tips & Tricks

• I use the [ list ][ /list ] code for spacing on most of these because Lair Tab Descriptions have a word limit and it provides more space for less words than using [ nextcol ] over and over does ^^
• If you use a code like [ list ][ /list] in a column all by itself, you don't need to add the closing tag, as columns will close off any codes they contain by default! This will help you reduce the word limit even further!

• Using [ emoji=wind rune ] instead of [ emoji=wind rune size 1 ] will still give you the same symbol, so it's better to use the one with the least amount of words

Also this guide was SUPER helpful in letting me know what can and can't work in Lair Tab Descriptions so I absolutely recommend it as a good place to start!

@TinyGryphon This is a super helpful post, thank you for taking the time to make it! I have a quick question:

How to you space out the title if it's more than one word? I've had some luck with using ~5 "nextcol" tags in between the words, but I don't think that'll work for the formats where the title itself is in a column (like the bookends one). Do you have any suggestions?

I tried the list tag trick, but it didn't keep the words on the same line

Also just found out that [ emoji=wind rune ] gives the same size icon as [ emoji=wind rune size 1 ] if you're low on characters!

@Annadrujok The first solution I can think of is just to put another set of columns inside the middle column, solely just for the title ^^ [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/936986795755839498/1070624595150917642/spacing1.png[/img] [code][columns] [item=Windsinger Painted Vase] [nextcol] [list][/list] [nextcol] [columns]LOREM[nextcol][nextcol][nextcol][nextcol][nextcol]IPSUM[nextcol][nextcol][nextcol][nextcol][nextcol]DOLOR[/columns] ----- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

[nextcol] [list][/list] [nextcol] [item=Windsinger Painted Vase] [/columns][/code] Or you could use the list tag, but that might be more space than what you're after ^^; [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/936986795755839498/1070624595364806757/spacing2.png[/img] [code][columns] [item=Windsinger Painted Vase] [nextcol] [list][/list] [nextcol] [columns]LOREM[nextcol][list][/list][nextcol]IPSUM[nextcol][list][/list][nextcol]DOLOR[/columns] ----- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

[nextcol] [list][/list] [nextcol] [item=Windsinger Painted Vase] [/columns][/code] And yeah, the list tag only works as padding if it's in its own separate column unfortunately x-x [quote name="Annadrujok" date="2023-02-01 18:46:49" ] Also just found out that [ emoji=wind rune ] gives the same size icon as [ emoji=wind rune size 1 ] if you're low on characters! [/quote] Oh that is SUPER SUPER helpful, thank you so much! The biggest restraint I've found with trying to code Lair Tabs is definitely the word limit, so I appreciate this tip a lot! [emoji=familiar heart size=1]

This is so good, you're a blessing :)

@TinyGryphon Thank you so much!! That's super helpful [emoji=familiar heart size=1]

@TinyGryphon
i noticed using a list without a closing tag between nextcols looks the same with fewer characters, since columns code always resets formatting as far as i can tell! :D

@wanderingworlds ... oh gosh, it does too! I didn't even think about trying that! That's a super useful tip, thank you! ^^ (the word limit is the hardest part about trying to code Lair Tabs I swear xD) [i]*brb updating all my codes*[/i] [emoji=familiar heart size=1]
