Page 18 of the Realm Works Reference Guide indicates (for a people topic) under Profile there should be a snippet type "Defining Quote". I can't figure out how to add it.

Alot has changed in recent times. It's possible the documentation is not up to date with the current status. I can't confirm this but having worked in IT for a long time it would not surprise me. Documentation is usually an afterthought.

But, needless to say - RW does have some quirks in the UI that makes it less than intuitive and documentation is needed. As for the "defining quote" snippet - It's easy to add a snippet in the category definition and set it to have the quote default snippet type. Set it to Auto-Add on the topic and new topics would have this. For current topics, use the wrench tools and quick edit - synchronize to topic definition. |

This leads to any up-front documentation becoming out-of-date very quickly. Automated tools to extract documentation embedded in the source code is a far better way to get devs to maintain it |

Big difference between design documentation and client facing documentation also.

Perhaps the "flavor" snippet style has replaced the quote snippet?

So, software development methodologies aside , I only posted this because I had a memorable quote for an NPC I was entering into RW and wasn't sure where the "best practice" was to put it. ...so I read the fine manual and it delightfully pointed me to the defining quote snippet ...which seems to be gone. So this is a combination question on best practice for where to put said quote, and to report a defect in the documentation I guess.

I make a (or several) custom snippet called "BTL" which stands for "Bring to life" - for each snippet I write one thing that makes the character stand out, such as:
BTL: Swears at least twice in every sentence. BTL: Has a deep husky voice [this for a female NPC] BTL: Lacking pinky and ring finger on left hand. BTL: Famous quote: "Rather ya than me, know what a mean?" Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |
