Snowman is a minimal Twine 2 story format designed for people who already know JavaScript and CSS originally created by Chris Klimas. It is currently maintained by Dan Cox.
This fork adds support for footnotes in the Passage class of Snowman. Footnotes are part of Markdown Extra, but not widely supported.
Snowman does not use macros like Harlowe, SugarCube, and other story formats. Instead, it has two global objects, window.story and window.passage, that expose functionality for working with the overall story and the current passage, respectively.
It also includes the JavaScript libraries jQuery and Underscore.
Additional styling options are supplied through the inclusion of the Marked library.
The official Snowman documentation has more details about Snowman including multiple examples of how to do various tasks.
