Can one of you character sheet wizzes tell me how to do something? I'd like there to be an indented line below each "Trademark" line where the player can list the Edges (skills) they have associated with that Trademark. However, I don't want this to be hidden the way the traits are (behind the red triangles). Is there a way to add such a line that is editable by the player? (They won't necessarily have Edges for every Trademark.)

As far as I know, there's no way to put anything between those unfoldable triangles. Everything between one # and the next is folded in there

It is a bit messy and spacey, but you could close the [ abilities ] section, list the Edge, and then open a new, untitled abilities section. you get a weird black line where you open the new abilities section, but if it does not have a name, it might not be too intrusive.

You could also experiment with [ snippet ] or [ spoiler ] sections instead using [ abilities ].

Use [snippet] instead of #

[color=";display: block;"][/color]

It's using the color tag for CSS which I hear has slight risks as it might not work for everyone but if it doesn't work then It'll just show on the same line so it won't destroy the Sheet.

Y'all are awesome!

Is there any way to force an indent before each Edge in the version posted by Psybermagi? I guess this would apply to vagueGM's version too.

You can use alt-255 to create a space before your text and indent it that way.
      That should work

You could use KoldikSteelskin's one and add an indent rule.

change the
[color=";display: block;"]...[/color]
to
[color=";display: block; text-indent: 2em;"]...[/color]
to get:
indented text
Dec 14, 2023 8:01 pm
Or use
[color="transparent"]>>>[/color]
Indented Edge

>>> Indented Edge
Dec 14, 2023 9:39 pm
Or use a table with transparent text in one cell of the first column

test

[ +- ] Trademark 1
>>Edge 1a
Edge 1b

[ +- ] Trademark 2
>>Edge 2a
Edge 2b

So here's what I've got (thanks to all of you, and to stealing a lot of code from other character sheets). For some reason, the Edges are not going to a second line and indenting, but instead appearing beside the Trademarks. It actually looks OK that way, but I'm curious what I've done wrong as for the original idea.

Can I make Flow Points and Grit match the font of the rest of the black bars?

I'm open to other suggestions for improving this sheet, as well! I've tried to mimic the look of the one from the rulebook, but it's not perfect.

You have the Edges written out on the same line as the 'ability'
# [_=][color="transparent"]>>>[/color][i][b]Edges:[/b][/i] [_=]
so it would not appear on the next line. Add a carriage return after the
# [_=]
to get it to the next line.

You also don't have the `display: block` [ref] clause in your [ color ] hack, so it will not set itself outside the 'red triangle'.

Now we're getting somewhere!

Still would like to fix the font on Grit and Flow to match the rest of the header bars. But I think that's the last real tweak I'd need to make. (Also open to suggestions, but this sheet at least approximates the one in the book.)

Looks great!

Try this:

[f=h1 font-family:AgencyFB font-size:2.2em]Flow Points (Max: [_=])[/f]


Flow Points (Max: )

vs

Flow Points (Max: )

Y'all are awesome! That's all she wrote. I think I'll post this, along with a variant that allows for a character portrait.

Thanks! It's mostly stolen BBcode from sheets you've done. :)
