What are storyformats - jackdarker/TwineTest GitHub Wiki

Storyformats are used to extend the features your story can have.

F.e. they an add the possibility to save the players game so that he can continue later at the same spot.

Or they add some macros that you can use inside your passage text that get replaced with different content.

In general, storyformats are javascript-librarys that will be called when the browser "renders" the current passage. The passage-content is then fed into the javascript-library, so that the javascript can make adjustments to it. The resulting html-code is then rendered to the screen, just like a normal webpage.

There are several different storyformats supported and the most famous ones are

• Sugarcube
• Harlow

The twine-editor actually adds a toolbar for some of the storyformats to make it easier to use them. Snowman is not one of them.
