Secret embed flow writing hidden
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
As a writer, I enjoy structuring my articles in a manner that flows from one section to the next, making the structure as readable as any book or magazine article. As a GM however, this falls apart with secrets and information my players do not have access to. I can parcel out this information into the secrets section, but in doing so, I force myself to present that information in a different way, outside of the flow of the main article and using different language or repeating things that were already said.How does this feature request address the current situation?
By allowing secrets to be embeded into the main article, sections of the text could be hidden and then revealed at the right moments, preserving the flow of the writing to those that can read them, and making the text as a whole more digestible. This would be particularly useful for GM's who wish to hide lore for discovery that does not neccesarily shake up the game or drastically change perception of the article.What are other uses for this feature request?
In addition, this feature might come in handy for the presentation of magical text to players, narrative articles, or campaign summaries for monetized pages. Certain players could view bits of text relevant to their characters in-line with the narrative flow, or subscribers could see sections of a campaign summary that the players are unaware of that describe things happening outside of the character's knowledge.The Team's Response

on 2021-05-22 22:45I don't recall if it starts at Master or Grandmaster, but you can also call up a secret by typing [ and then three consecutive letters from the name of the secret, just like with the Mention System and @

on 2021-05-22 19:48This is already possible. Copy the link for the secret and insert it in the article where you want the block of text to appear.
