Tags
Sometimes, it can be useful to add information about a passage that isn't visible to readers. Tags are a way to do this – they function as labels stuck on the side of a passage, visible to you while you are writing your story, but they cannot be seen in the published version of your story.
A tag can be any series of letters, numbers, or punctuation without spaces. You can assign as many tags as you like to a passage, as well.
Special tags
There are some tags that have special meaning to Twine, and change how your story behaves or appears to your readers. These special tags are described below.
| Special tag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| annotation | An annotation |
| stylesheet | A CSS stylesheet. Additional tags (excluding transition) can be applied to restrict this stylesheet to specific passages. |
| transition | Signifies that the stylesheet defines a CSS transition. Should only appear alongside the stylesheet tag. Has no particular meaning when applied to an ordinary passage. |
| script | A Javascript script that will be run before the story starts. Used primarily to install custom scripts or macros. |
| bookmark | A passage that will appear in Sugarcane's Rewind menu |
| nobr | Causes all of the line breaks in the passage to be removed, as if the entire passage was contained in a <<nobr>> macro. Useful if you use a lot of macros. |
| Twine.private | A passage which will not be included at all in the compiled HTML file |
| startup | Signifies that the passage can be used to initialize variables. Currently a feature only on Harlowe |
