a link anchored on a section of the note’s text) this pre-empts the default link. However, if you click on a text link (i.e. Thus to have a node like ‘Bon Voyage’ you don’t want any basic links. explicit note-to-note links as you see drawn as link lines on the map, always trump ‘sculptural’ (deck-type) links where both are present. In the new style v3 UI, clicking in a note’s text pane is more natural than trying to use the keys.ĭefault link choice: basic or ‘Calligraphic’ links, i.e. I don’t think that’s very clearly stated in the Help (as quoted above). Clicking an item in the map simple sets focus on the clicked item. I suspect the problem is you are clicking in the Map, when you should be clicking in the (right-side) text pane. When the text pane is active, pressing also follows the default link. Because guard fields may disable some links and enable others, the same writing space may have different default links at different points in the reading.
Clicking elsewhere will follow the highest-priority basic link, often called the default link. Clicking in a text link will follow that text link. Read mode lets you explore the hypertext. I may have misinterpreted my earlier actions. Bon Voyage has no outbound links, but because $Deck(/me) is “shipboard”, trying to follow the default link om Bon Voyage will cause Storyspace to randomly select one unread note which is marked as having a $Deck that contains “shipboard”. "The initial note named Bon Voyage sets $Deck(/ me)=“shipboard”.
Once again, the aim of my exercise was to recreate the short tutorial below from Mark Bernstein’s “Getting Started”: I’d like the Deck function to work, but here it does not. This file does not work OK, because from “Bon Voyage” you cannot go anywhere, although I think I tried to set it to pull nodes from “shipboard” deck. I can of course upload it with read mode switched on below, but my problem is still there. When you open this file in Storyspace reader it goes to read mode automatically. I’m not sure it is a question of edit mode being on or off. The file: Google Drive: Sign-inĪccess Google Drive with a Google account (for personal use) or Google Workspace account (for business use). P.S The “me” file is showing “shipboard” as an active deck which is even more puzzling. I know there might be some “yikes” on my way, but I also hope that this perhaps starts some exchange of working Storyspace files for sculptural hypertext. My “Bon Voyage” just sits there and links to nowhere on hitting Enter.
I set the “Bon Voyage” page with $Deck(/me)=“shipboard” and each of the 4 deck notes have “shipboard” in their Deck attribute field. Start page links to “Bon Voyage” from where I expect the Deck nodes to be drawed.
In my Storyspace file there is a starting page, a "me’ page, a “Bon Voyage” node and 4 test nodes, each of them attributed to the “shipboard” deck. This will continue until we reach a note that has conventional calligraphic links, or until some note changes $Deck(/me). Bon Voyage has no outbound links, but because $Deck(/me) is “shipboard”, trying to follow the default link from Bon Voyage will cause Storyspace to randomly select one unread note which is marked as having a $Deck that contains “shipboard”. To “pick up” the deck at the beginning of the episode, the initial note named Bon Voyage sets $Deck(/me)=“shipboard”. We might have a deck named “shipboard” that describes a transatlantic voyage in 1932. "$Deck is a set-type attribute but is typically simply the name shared by a deck. Storyspace help chapter (longer paragraph) on sculptural hypertext and even long passages in Hypertext Narrative about the techniques of sculptural linking (unlinking), neither Howard Oakley’s friendly and useful blog entries do not help me in getting the idea of Deck working. After a year of distractions I finally plunged myself into Storyspace 3 and accompanying texts (Storyspace 3 and Storyspace and Hypertext Narrative) and I’m loving it: congratulations, Mark!
