Tweaking CSS in Tangent

Adjusting CSS rules for Tangent

Hide filename top header if there’s a level 1 header.

Code Sample

    :where(main):has(article h1) > :where(header) {
    display: none;
}

Colorize emphasized text and strongly emphasized text so ADHD brain notices there might be something important there.

Code Sample

    :where(main) :is(em, strong) {
  color: var(--warningTextColor);
}

Diminish my big-ass frontmatter so it’s out of the way until editing time.

Code Sample

    :where(div.frontMatter):not(:has([data-focus="focused"])) {
  max-height: 5em;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  background-color: var(--accentDeemphasizedBackgroundColor);
  opacity: 0.6;
}

div.frontMatter:not(:has([data-focus="focused"])) :where(.start) {
  display: none;
}

Add line numbers to code blocks to see if I can. Not sure if I’ll keep it, but it’s handy to know!

Code Sample

    :where(pre) > :where(code) {
  counter-reset: line-number;
}

:where(pre) > :where(code) :where(div.line)::before {
  content: counter(line-number);
  counter-increment: line-number;
  display: inline-block;
  left: var(--spaceWidth);
  margin-right: calc(var(--spaceWidth) * 2.5);
  min-width: 1.5rem;
  opacity: .3;
  position: sticky;
  text-align: right;
}

Ways to make a character autistic-coded before we knew “autistic-coded” could be anything but Rainman.

Freddy: The only thing I like about tech rehearsals is you get a chance to sit on the furniture.

Belinda: It’s so nice to see you cheering up and making a joke!

Freddy: Oh, was that a joke?

and also getting hung up on the logic of an action his character takes

Freddy: Lloyd, I know it’s rather late in the day to go into this, but–

Lloyd: No Freddy, we’ve got several more minutes left before we open.

Freddy: Thank you, Lloyd. As long as we’re not too rushed.

I’m also remembering another favorite, Death Trap (1982). If I had a nickel for every play-within-a-play-about-a-play featuring Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve I’d have ten cents which isn’t much but the fact that there’s more than one is kind of a shock.

see this part of Arizona doesn’t do daylight savings, so local time is best expressed as UTC-7

or 1861 depending on what you mean
