VTML

This page was last verified for Vintage Story version 1.15.

Vintagetext Markup Language (VTML), is a (obviously) completely novel and highly advanced markup language designed to display richly formatted text inside Vintage Story. Definitely has nothing in common with the old and outdated HTML standard ;-)
