+ +
+
+
+

+ This page is powered by a + single stylesheet which turns + ordinary HTML into a + + Choose Your Own Adventure-like + gamebook, + and another that describes its colors. No JavaScript is + involved, and the HTML is kept nearly undisturbed. +

+ +
+
+

◀ How to Use It

+

+ To use choice.css you'll need to be at least + a little familiar with CSS and HTML. +

+

+ (If you're not comfortable with HTML, consider trying + Twine instead. It's got a + graphical interface and a simpler markup format. It's also a + good choice if you want to do something more complicated + than CYOA.) +

+

Writing Your HTML

+

+ The first thing you need is a bare HTML page, including + choice.css as a stylesheet. (You can also include + it inline between a <style>...</style> + block.) +

+ 
<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+  <head>
+    <link rel=stylesheet href=choice.css>
+    <title>...</title>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <main>
+          ...
+    </main>
+  </body>
+</body>
+

+ Inside the main block, place a series + of <section> elements with your writing, and + give them each an id: +

+ 
<section id=example>
+  This is an example section.
+</section>
+

+ Then inside each section, you can create links to the other + sections with standard HTML links: +

+ 
<section id=other-example>
+  This is a <a href='#example'>link to that section</a>.
+</section>
+

Transitions

+

+ The three different transition styles you'll see on this + page (horizontal pop-in, vertical pop-in, and fade) will be + applied automatically to create some variety in transitions. +

+

+ If you'd like more manual control, you can use the + vpop, hpop, and fade + classes on your sections, or write your own using standard + CSS transitions. +

+

Styling

+

+ You can style the rest of the page using CSS normally, + as long as you keep the main display structure + from choice.css — the absolutely-positioned, + overflow-hiding <main> element, and the + selectors for <section> elements. +

+

+ You can also add more elements. For example, this page adds + a header with some navigation links. And while JavaScript + isn't required, you can include JavaScript code in your page + for more advanced effects. +

+

Errors

+

+ If you link to a section that doesn't exist, or the + reader types one in manually, you'll see + the last section in the page + even if you didn't give it an ID. You might want to write + your last section with this in mind. +

+
+
+

◀ Why Bother?

+

+ Because... +

+
    +
  • + Modern websites are too complicated. A decade ago, you + could open up nearly any site and see how it was made. Now + all you get is a mass of minified HTML, CSS, and + JavaScript, patching weird features over each other into + an unintelligible mess. But today's sites + + can still be intelligible while doing new things. +
    • +
  • + Pages can be printed + to paper (or PDF) intact. +
    • +
  • + Bookmarks and sharing links always go to the right part. +
    • +
  • + It works, in an CPU/energy-efficient way, on a wide variety of + browser interfaces and input devices. +
    • +
  • + The page's full content can be indexed by search engines, + the Internet Archive, + and other tools and services. +
    • +
  • + It still works with CSS completely disabled, or + in browsers that never supported CSS or JavaScript like + Lynx. + You'll just see the sections before and after the current + one. +
    • +
  • + Despite their problems, HTML and CSS still strike one + of the best balances in computing between ease of writing, + ease of learning, and features. + The + rule of least power remains a good design maxim, + and the above are some of its benefits. +
    • +
+
+
+

◀ Why Not?

+
    +
  • + It doesn't work in old-but-not-too-old versions + of Internet Explorer. (It works in very old + versions that don't support CSS or CSS visibility + but doesn't work in recently-old versions that + support CSS visibility but not CSS transforms.) +
    • +
  • + It's awkward in some mobile browsers, older ones + especially. (But so is almost anything not designed + specifically for them.) +
    • +
  • + Error handling doesn't work very well. +
    • +
  • + Direct links to the page without a #fragment are the same + as an error. +
    • +
  • + Without more scripting, it can't do anything like track + variables or dynamic content. You could write your own + JavaScript, but it might be easier to just + use Twine + if you want to do that. +
    • +

◀ License

+

+ choice.css and + this demonstration page are + released + into the public domain, + or as close as possible in your jurisdiction. We waive all our + rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including + all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by + law. +

+

+ You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for + commercial purposes, all without asking permission. +

+

+ However, we would appreciate it if you kept + a link to this page in the file when you + use it, to help inform other people about what it does and + how they can use it too. +

+
+
+

+ If the target location is invalid, the last section — + this section — is displayed, even if it doesn't have + an ID. You can put any link you want here, like + back to the first section, or + just plain back. +

+

+ It'd be nicer if the default was the first section, or a + special section, but that's not currently possible in CSS. + At times CSS Selectors + Level 4 has included features that would help with this, + but they don't work in any browser yet. +

+

+ Or, you could write your page so that the last section is + the first one people should read. But that will mess up the + order when printing or reading the page without the special + stylesheet. And it's just confusing. +
