v1.1.2 - Word-wrap and inline color fixes

Version 1.1.2

This version brings just tiny fixes for rendering

• Fixed a case when a dialog/thought box get out of border when rendering more words and lines
• Fixed some cases when a color tag just doesn't render properly in a inline box
• Added wordwrap to narrative (plain text) lines when it's too long in the YML file

How to update

1. Pull or clone the repo, then checkout the new tag:

git checkout v1.1.2

example_chapter.yml now added the new wordwrap dialogue/thought box example

v1.1.1 - Inline color support and fixed boxes

Version 1.1.1

This new version brings a bunch of small but powerful improvements to how you write and style your YAML files. Here’s what’s new:

Hex-Only Colors in settings: and Overrides

• Now, any color you specify (global or inline) must be in #RRGGBB format.

• Entries like "255,255,0" are no longer accepted—this keeps things consistent and avoids parsing errors.

Fixed-Height Dialog & Thought Boxes

• Dialog and thought boxes are locked to exactly two lines (plus padding) so that coloring a single word inline won’t break the layout.

• No “half-cut” boxes or unexpected line wraps when you use [color=#FF0000]word[/].

Inline Color Overrides Without Wrapping

• You can highlight any snippet of text inside narrative, dialog, or thought blocks using [color=#RRGGBB]…[/].

• The entire segment stays on one line, even if it’s just one word.

Improved Parser Validation

• The YAML parser now strictly enforces hex color codes in settings: and in inline overrides.

• If a color isn’t a valid #RRGGBB, it’s ignored and defaults will apply.

Minor Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements

• Addressed edge cases where override tags at the very start or end of a line used to trip up rendering.

• Cleanup of internal routines to ensure consistent behavior across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How to update

1. Pull or clone the repo, then checkout the new tag:

git checkout v1.1.1

Make sure your existing YAML chapters follow the new requirements (especially hex-only colors).

Run or rebuild your project as usual. Any old progress.pkl files will continue to work.

Enjoy the smoother, more consistent styling—happy writing! :3
