"Reveal" button for secrets #29

Suggestion by @Arkangel#5736 on discord

I'd really like a hotkey within the editor. Creative flow in typing notes is massively disrupted by having to use clunky drop down menus or moving to html source On the use in game I'd like to see reveal buttons in text next to secret text for one click reveal for paragraphs of secret text to players currently, you have to go into edit, selected the text, click reveal, hope you have it format in a paragraph without linebrakes (which you won't know unless you also then go into code editing) and then save it, then reveal it to players again. performing this across thousands of journals really kind of grinds the flow to a halt

Adding a reveal button to secrets directly within the text (similar maybe to spoiler buttons on other sites or entity link buttons) to ease that workflow would fit within the objectives of Custom Journal.

Recommendations

  1. Can an image be placed in the background of a journal? Such as a parchment image so that the text appears in front of the image?

  2. Is there a hotkey for journal secrets or a way to put in an eye next to secrets in the journal that can be clicked to reveal those secrets like what is currently present in Foriens mod "quest log" to reveal tasks and rewards to players?

2 is the subject of this issue. While I do want to eventually tackle it and find it a very good idea, be aware however it will likely be a while before I can tackle this particular issue.

1 is part of eventual enhancements I want to make regarding customizability of the module. In the meantime, I invite you to look at the styles/template.css and the scripts/custom-journal.css file if you want to create your own theme. Please look at #30 for further customizability concerns :)
