Tips and tricks
- Lines longer than 256 characters are automatically spliltted into multiple lines.
- The text can contain emotes and macros as long as you don't use secure functions. In this case, secure function calls will be automatically commented out and ignored.
- Click Edit to modify the text directly in game.
- Blank lines and lines that starts with a comment code
--,//or#are ignored. - Text lines are sent using the chat window. Add a
/sor/partyto the first line to be sure to send the text to the right place.

How would you go about putting a link to an item in the story?
In reply to yarsiemanym:
NVM. I figured it out.
/run SendChatMessage("1 - "..(select (2, GetItemInfo(20452))), "SAY", nil, nil)Great job.
That is almost exactly what i was looking for. Would it be possible to add some keybindings or at least one for ""Read", so i could spam the /s and /y channels in the middle of a fight with less mouse movement?
Reciting epic poems while questing is so much fun.
Thank You

Try this macro
/script StoryTellerFrame.Read()

This macro does the trick, works like a charm. Thank You very much.
Wow this addon is really nice! I'd been using Paste for the longest time for exactly this purpose, but in order to spread out my walls of text, I also had to use the addon SlashIn in combination with it. Which was annoying needless to say lol. This rocks my socks! I would love to say that if there were a character counter per line for this (for those of us who like to split our text ourselves) that'd be awesome. In the edit window that is, not the main window.
Something along the lines of 1(128) would mean line 1 has 128 characters, and the moment there is a line break, it could be something like 2(211) saying that line 2 has 211 characters and if you hit the << button it would read 1(128) again. I hope this makes some kind of sense to you :D
Just thought of something else! Not sure if this has to happen from your end or this other addon's end, it's called Misspelled. It's basically a spell checker addon. If this were able to play nice with Story Teller, it would be phenomenal.
