Add a text box showing the symbolism and history of a selected charge
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I think it would be really cool if the charge editor had a way to display some of the relevant historical context.
I have a proof of concept of this that I'd be willing to refine into a pull request if you're interested.
At the moment, my the way it works is:
Use a markdown rendering library to fetch markdown files of the form /info/lang/TYPE/object, as in /info/en/charges/lion.md
Because some charges may have essentially the same description, a new optional metadata element descriptionkey is used to allow referencing a description.
My work so far is here: https://github.com/EternityForest/Armoria/tree/show-extra-info
Hello, fellow tester! Thanks for raising the issue, I will review it as soon as possible.
Hello, it's an interesting idea, but it requires a lot of manual work to provide the description. Not sure I can handle it all, I try to keep the tool simple as it's not a professional one like heraldry.digital. Translating all these descriptions will be quite tedious as well.
If we have to provided some context, it looks simpler to just attach a link to wiki.
Will close as for now as it's too much work and also not really inline with the tool idea (to be a simple emblem generator)
