Files

The look and feel of the book is determined by the file 'bind.sty'. Remember that a single file is used for all works, so changes to it must be compatible with both the BIND core book, and Adventures in Fenestra.

If any other books emerge, they shouldn't touch the preamble directly - requests should be put in to change it in the BIND git.

Reference Version

People may want a reference-only version of the rules, which avoids example text, flowery language, verbose explanations, and images. To make the second version easy, I'm using the etoolbox package's iftoggle statements. It works like this:

\iftoggle{verbose}{Swords are shiny and sharp, so they add +1 to Damage.
}{
Swords grant +1 to Damage.
}

If the toggle verbose is 'true' then you get all the stuff in the first curly braces. If the toggle is set to 'false', you get what's in the second brackets. The second brackets are usually empty, so you'll see a lot of }{} in the document, meaning 'end verbose rant, nothinging in reference version'.
