Vintagetext Markup Language (VTML), is a (obviously) completely novel and highly advanced markup language designed to display richly formatted text inside Vintage Story. These are often used to create more versatile handbook pages.

Tags

  • <br>
    Causes a line break
  • <i>text</i>
    Causes the text to be in italic font
  • <strong>text</strong>
    Causes the text to be in bold font
  • <a href="url">text</a>
    Turns text into a clickable link. You can link to websites (http://), handbook pages (handbook://pagecode), search results in the handbook (handbooksearch://text_in_your_language), a link that types in the chatbox ("chattype:///giveblock clutter{type: \"barrel-metal1\"}"), trigger hotkeys (hotkey://code) or commands (command:///time set day). Custom links can be added by mods as well using ICoreAPI.RegisterLinkProtocol
  • <font size="num" color="hexcolor" weight="bold" lineheight="1.2" align="right" opacity="0.5">text</font>
    Formats the text by given properties, all properties are optional
  • <hk>command</hk> or <hotkey>command</hotkey>
    Display the actual current mapping of the "command" key, e.g <hk>sprint</hk> displays the current key used to activate the sprint in your game.

Icons

<icon name="[icon name]"></icon>
Draws an internal icon. See the list below. Note that the waypoint svg icon files are also registered as internal icons.

<icon path="[icon svg path]"></icon>
Draws an icon from an svg file. The path is relative to the texture folder, and should include the svg extension. By default the icons are loaded from the base game, but icons can be loaded from mods by prefixing the path with the mod domain (followed by a colon).

Both kinds of mods can be scaled and colored by the font tag. This is almost necessary for the svg icons, as they are otherwise rendered very small. For example, <font size="30"><icon path="icons/checkmark.svg"></icon></font>

Builtin SVG Icons

These icons are included in the base game. Additional SVG icons can be added by mods by placing them in the textures folder. By default the icons are rendered very small. So the example image on the side uses font size 30 for the icons and font size 16 for the names.
