In there a page limit? text limit? format limit? #549

In there a page limit? text limit? format limit?

The reason I ask is my document, which is all Spells and starts with the Spell Table, exceeded 24 pages. And I couldn't add any more NEW PAGE markdowns. The pages I inserted simply weren't visible. I start a new page for each letter of the alphabet. My last spell in the Ts was too long so I forced it onto its own page. When I scrolled down I saw the next page was for the letter X (page 24), not the second T page. I then realized that my second T page was invisible, and my U page, and my W page.

I've also been having consistent issues with webpage stuck in "SAVING..." for hours. Fearing I was going to lose changes I copied all my text out to notepad, and then had to agree to LEAVE and risk losing data. Each time I've noticed that this was happening, it turned out that Homebrew hadn't updated the Brew for 3-5 hours.

So I've broken my Spell list into two Brews, one 15 pages, one 12. Problem is gone.

When something doesn't work correctly it's often a problem with html code. You use a lot of divs for spacing and likely just made a small error. I've seen brews with 50 pages or more so it's not a problem of a page limit.

Anyway I just put your two halves of code together and generated a new table of content. The resulting brew has all 29 pages and on first inspection doesn't look to be missing anything. http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/H1-_djEg1G

Oh good, Thank you for that. I went through trying to find something I messed up. But when I broke them in half... I literally moved it to notepad, broke the text into two unedited pieces and moved part two into a new doc. Problem stopped. Homebrew is actually quite good about GOING RED and telling me my tags aren't matched.

I've actually removed a lot of the vertical spacing (divs) today. The page looked too crowded to me, especially in comparison to WOTC books. But I realize a lot of what my eye is picking up is simply because the weight of this body font (and the H1, H2, H3) is significantly greater than that in the books. There are a few places I still visually need spacing, like before the Green Descriptive Text Notes. That doesn't have enough default spacing before.
