Welcome to GM Binder

Here are the basics:

This is your very first document. The intent is for it to be a resource about creating within GM Binder, as well as a showcase of the possibilities using this platform. On the following pages, you'll see everything our theme is capable of—and we hope you'll like it as much as we do.

Overview on Creating

GM Binder uses Markdown for its primary content. To learn about Markdown and its supporting syntax, check this out!

In addition, GM Binder allows for HTML content within your document. However, "User Beware" warnings apply. Using HTML for things like images and links is pretty safe. However, structured HTML like divs, tables, etc, may have undesired consequences.

Page Breaks

Using \pagebreak will result in a page break. Or press Ctrl+; or Cmd+; to insert this.
Using \pagebreakNum will result in a page break with page number. Or press Ctrl+' or Cnd+' to insert this.

Links

Internal Links - Press Ctrl+Space to get a list of all of your document's headers. Press tab on one to insert the link into your document. ie: Welcome to your next campaign binder!
External Links - Using the standard markdown link syntax with an external URL will result in a link that opens a new tab. ie: Staff of Darkening
If you would like the actual URL to show in your external link, a simple solution is to simply wrap it with < and >. ie: https://www.gmbinder.com

Images

There are a couple ways you can place images. If you would like something positioned like you see on this page, you will need to provide the appropriate styles to do so. For example:

<img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/assets/img/bottle.png' style='position:absolute;bottom:45px;right:30px;width:380px; mix-blend-mode:multiply;' />

If you would like to place an image in-line within your content, simply providing an image tag with an external URL will be sufficient. Do be aware that your images should be sized appropriately for the content.

Wrapping to Column Two

Sometimes you want your content in column 1 to be cut short and continue on to column 2. The simplest way to accomplish this is to use:

\columnbreak

You can also press Ctrl+. or Cnd+. to insert this.

Footnotes

This is an example of using html and built in styles to get a desired output.

Easier Blending

To get a beautiful stained edge on your document images (as seen on this page), utilize the convenient built-in classes for applying blend overlays. Please do note: These classes currently only exist in the default GM Binder theme.

Blend Classes

blend-half-right
blend-half-left
blend-half-top
blend-half-bottom
blend-corner-topright
blend-corner-topleft
blend-corner-bottomright
blend-corner-bottom-left
blend-onethird-top
blend-onethird-bottom
blend-twothirds-top
blend-twothirds-bottom

Usage

As seen in the source of this document, blend classes are best applied to div elements following the image you would like to blend — like so:

<img src="your-image-source.jpg"/>
<div class="blend-half-right"></div>

The above code will ensure you have a parchment background on the right side of your page. Simply swapping the class will allow you to quickly see the variations available.

By the way!

If you would like to convert your existing document to this theme, please make sure that any instance of .phb is replaced with .gmb, which is also the new base class for modifying this theme.

Homebrewing

People love to flex their creative muscles while composing new homebrew content. More often than not, the inspiration for your homebrew comes from another source. Sometimes significantly. Other times just as a spark.

What is important for the community is that you share your sources of inspiration. This back cover can serve as an easy to find, easy to read place for you to do just that.

So go ahead, remove this chunk of copy and tell everyone who inspired you.
