New WritingML! - Dropnote and others...

The Dropnote Tag
Introducing the new WritingML Dropnote tag. Dropnotes create links that, when clicked, drop down whatever is between the dropnote tags. Here are a few examples, with links to show the raw WritingML:
When you click this link... ▼

... this text drops down. It's fully WritingML complaint, meaning I can include this {c-item:100931}:

Writing.Com General Discussion  [13+] #100931 A message forum for general discussion. Please come and chat with others! by Writing.Com Support

This is the raw WritingML used to create the example above:

{dropnote:"When you click this link..."}... this text {b}drops{/b} down. It's fully WritingML complaint, meaning I can include this {c-item:100931}: {c-item:100931} and this image...{quote}{image:1110494}{/quote}{/dropnote}

Using the {quote}{/quote} within a dropnote creates a great presentation effect... For example:
Something Interesting Quote'd: ▼

This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting... This is something interesting...

(Note that, at this time, you can not put a dropnote inside another dropnote. This may change... )

New "id" Sub-Tags
Keeping track of on-site "things" in your notes just got a little easier with four new id sub-tags:
          id-Item, id-Entry, id-Post and id-NL.

The tags display the id # in a "copy and paste" friendly layout. Double click the id and press Ctrl-C (on Windows, Command-C on Mac) and the id is quickly copied to your clipboard. Here's an example
          {id-item:100931} yields:  [#100931] "Writing.Com General Discussion" 

Each tag has been added to the WritingML directory:
          WritingML Help for id-item
          WritingML Help for id-entry
          WritingML Help for id-post
          WritingML Help for id-nl



Enjoy!
