Events for this project are mananged with Aeon Timeline and are read-only here in Mythsmith.
To import new and changed events into Mythsmith...
- Open the project in Aeon Timeline
- In the main menu bar, do File > Export To > CSV/Text
- Export a CSV file with the default settings
- Use the file uploader below to import the CSV
The import will delete all existing events here in Mythsmith and insert new records from the CSV,
effectively synchronizing Mythsmith with Aeon Timeline.
How to create references:
- Use bracketed numbers like [1] and [123] to create a reference.
- For general/external references, begin incrementing from [1], and list each source at the end of the text,
i.e. make footnotes.
- You can also link to records in this system, using record ID numbers.
To create an internal reference to a particular record, enclose its ID in brackets, e.g. [12345].
- Since these internal references are just plain text, they are also searchable.
You can create a link to view all records that include a particular reference
by prefixing the record ID with the record type and a colon, e.g. [12345:events].
- Similarly, you can create a link to view all records associated with a particular
keyword by specifying the record type after colon, e.g. [keyword:things].
You can even use multi-word keyword phrases: e.g. [two keywords:events]
Example:
Albus Dumbledore was the Headmaster of Hogwarts. [1]
He was born in the summer of 1881. [2]
He could cast a Disillusionment Charm so powerful as to turn himself completely invisible. [3]
His Deluminator had a special feature that Harry Potter never knew about. [12345]
Here are all the events that involve the Deluminator's special feature: [12345:events].
Here are all the events that involve Dumbledore: [Dumbledore:events].
Here are all the things that involve Harry Potter: [Harry Potter:things].
[1] Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
[2] http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Albus_Dumbledore
[3] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, p 430
In the example above, [12345] links to the record in this system with ID 12345.
