The Homebrewery V3

Welcome traveler from an antique land. Please sit and tell us of what you have seen. The unheard of monsters, who slither and bite. Tell us of the wondrous items and and artifacts you have found, their mysteries yet to be unlocked. Of the vexing vocations and surprising skills you have seen.

Homebrew D&D made easy

The Homebrewery makes the creation and sharing of authentic looking Fifth-Edition homebrews easy. It uses Markdown with a little CSS magic to make your brews come to life.

Try it! Simply edit the text on the left and watch it update live on the right. Note that not every button is visible on this demo page. Click New {{fas,fa-plus-square}} in the navbar above to start brewing with all the features!

Editing and Sharing

When you create your own homebrew, you will be given a edit url and a share url.

Any changes you make while on the edit url will be automatically saved to the database within a few seconds. Anyone with the edit url will be able to make edits to your homebrew, so be careful about who you share it with.

Anyone with the share url will be able to access a read-only version of your homebrew.

PDF Creation

PDF Printing works best in Google Chrome. If you are having quality/consistency issues, try using Chrome to print instead.

After clicking the "Print" item in the navbar a new page will open and a print dialog will pop-up.

• Set the Destination to "Save as PDF"
• Set Paper Size to "Letter"
• If you are printing on A4 paper, make sure to have the PRINT → {{far,fa-file}} A4 Pagesize snippet in your brew
• In Options make sure "Background Images" is selected.
• Hit print and enjoy! You're done!

If you want to save ink or have a monochrome printer, add the PRINT → {{fas,fa-tint}} Ink Friendly snippet to your brew! }}

New in V3.0.0

We've implemented an extended Markdown-like syntax for block and span elements, plus a few other changes, eliminating the need for HTML tags like div and span in most cases. No raw HTML tags should be needed in a brew (but can still be used if you insist).

Much of the syntax and styling has changed in V3, so converting a Legacy brew to V3 (or vice-versa) will require tweaking your document. However, all brews made prior to the release of v3.0.0 will still render normally, and you may switch between the "Legacy" brew renderer and the newer "V3" renderer via the {{fa,fa-info-circle}} Properties button on your brew at any time.

Scroll down to the next page for a brief summary of the changes and new features available in V3!

Markdown+

The Homebrewery aims to make homebrewing as simple as possible, providing a live editor with Markdown syntax that is more human-readable and faster to write with than raw HTML.

In version 3.0.0, with a goal of adding maximum flexibility without users resorting to complex HTML to accomplish simple tasks, Homebrewery provides an extended verision of Markdown with additional syntax. You can enable V3 via the {{fa,fa-info-circle}} Properties button!

Curly Brackets

The biggest change in V3 is the replacement of <span></span> and <div></div> with {{ }} for a cleaner custom formatting. Inline spans and block elements can be created and given ID's and Classes, as well as css properties, each of which are comma separated with no spaces. Use double quotes if a value requires spaces. Spans and Blocks start the same:

Span

My favorite author is {{pen,#author,color:orange,font-family:"trebuchet ms" Brandon Sanderson}}. The orange text has a class of pen, an id of author, is colored orange, and given a new font. The first space outside of quotes marks the beginning of the content.

Block

{{purple,#book,text-align:center,background:#aa88aa55 My favorite book is Wheel of Time. This block has a class of purple, an id of book, and centered text with a colored background. The opening and closing brackets are on lines separate from the block contents. }}

Injection

For any element not inside a span or block, you can inject attributes using the same syntax but with single brackets in a single line immediately after the element.

Inline elements like italics {color:#D35400} or images require the injection on the same line.

Block elements like headers require the injection to start on the line immediately following.

A Purple Header

{color:purple,text-align:center}

* this does not currently work for tables yet

Vertical Spacing

A blank line can be achieved with a run of one or more : alone on a line. More :'s will create more space.

::

Much nicer than <br><br><br><br><br>

Definition Lists

Example :: V3 uses HTML definition lists to create "lists" with hanging indents.

Column Breaks

Column and page breaks with \column and \page.

\column

Tables

Tables now allow column & row spanning between cells. This is included in some updated snippets, but a simplified example is given below.

A cell can be spanned across columns by grouping multiple pipe | characters at the end of a cell.

Row spanning is achieved by adding a ^ at the end of a cell just before the |.

These can be combined to span a cell across both columns and rows. Cells must have the same colspan if they are to be rowspan'd.

Example

| Head A | Spanned Header ||

Head B	Head C	Head D
1A	1B	1C
2A ^	2B	2C
3A ^	3B 3C
4A	4B 4C^
5A ^	5B	5C
6A	6B ^	6C

Images

Images must be hosted online somewhere, like Imgur. You use the address to that image to reference it in your brew*.

Using Curly Injection you can assign an id, classes, or inline CSS properties to the Markdown image syntax.

{width:100px,border:"2px solid",border-radius:10px}

* When using Imgur-hosted images, use the "direct link", which can be found when you click into your image in the Imgur interace.

Snippets

Homebrewery comes with a series of code snippets found at the top of the editor pane that make it easy to create brews as quickly as possible. Just set your cursor where you want the code to appear in the editor pane, choose a snippet, and make the adjustments you need.

Style Editor Panel

{{fa,fa-paint-brush}} Technically released prior to v3 but still new to many users, check out the new Style Editor located on the right side of the Snippet bar. This editor accepts CSS for styling without requiring <style> tags-- anything that would have gone inside style tags before can now be placed here, and snippets that insert CSS styles are now located on that tab.
