Itch.io on-site game guide & instructions manual

One thing that would make us very happy would be to have the option to include a lengthy collapsible guide/instruction to each of our games. The current Game Description field is perfect for basic description of the game, but including the game guide on there makes for a less than elegant page where all the content/purchase/forum is moved at the bottom.

Thanks :)

Agreed

Where do you think would be a good place to put this. Do you want a links to separate pages within your main project page? Or purely a collapsible section on the main page?  HTML5 has a details tag that might be able to be used: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/details

I could whitelist that tag for our HTML sanitizer. It's not exactly the best looking though, so some CSS may be needed to clean it up.

It could be simply a collapsible part of the page, 

but the best situation would be a button that links to its own page, something accessible through the client as well. 

To Edit


I was thinking a box just underneath the description. Would this feature were to become very popular, maybe its own tab, but until then, I don't think it's necessary.


Why not put this in an attached community for your game, and then you can link to it from your game's description? This would also allow people to comment and ask questions, or suggest tips or whatever.

Yes! If we could update the community post content with the butler, that would work. I'd love to push game guide updates during push the process.
