Recommended!

"Harlowe" is the default story format in Twine. Change it to "Sugarcube" just in case you would like to add advanced features (CSS, sound, Twine code).

In the top menu:
Twine >> Story Formats
Then select "SugarCube 2.37.3" and set it as the new default story format.

What to type in passages

Always give a passage a title. Keep it short.

You can type text into a passage, and you can also include HTML!

<h1> </h1>	This creates the biggest header text
<h2> </h2>	This creates header text, but a bit smaller
<strong> </strong>	This will boldface text
<em> </em>	This will create italics

To make a link to a new passage

Use: [[ ]]

Format: [[ desired text -> next passage title ]]

(Or: [[ desired text | next passage title ]] — same thing)

Adding images – hotlinking

You can copy the full URL (web address) of an image file on the web, and use it in your Twine passage.

Here is starter code to copy'n'paste:

For example: if I search for Mario and find a picture in Google Images, I can view it and then right-click and Copy image address

This is the data on my clipboard after copying:
https://pngimg.com/uploads/mario/mario_PNG71.png

The I can write the HTML tag and paste in the url.
