What this is
A bunch of miscellaneous CSS 'improvements' that I,
Croquembouche, use on a bunch of pages because I think it makes them easier to deal with.
The changes this component makes are bunch of really trivial modifications to ease the writing experience and to make documenting components/themes a bit easier (which I do a lot). It doesn't change anything about the page visually for the reader — the changes are for the writer.
I wouldn't expect translations of articles that use this component to also use this component, unless the translator likes it and would want to use it anyway.
This component probably won't conflict with other components or themes, and even if it does, it probably won't matter too much.
Usage
On any wiki:
[[include :scp-wiki:component:croqstyle]]
This component is designed to be used on other components. When using on another component, be sure to add this inside the component's [[iftags]] block, so that users of your component are not forced into also using Croqstyle.
Related components
Other personal styling components (which change just a couple things):
Personal styling themes (which are visual overhauls):
CSS changes
Reasonably-sized footnotes
Stops footnotes from being a million miles wide, so that you can actually read them.
.hovertip { max-width: 400px; }
Monospace edit/code
Makes the edit textbox monospace, and also changes all monospace text to Fira Code, the obviously superior monospace font.
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code:wght@400;700&display=swap');
:root { --mono-font: "Fira Code", Cousine, monospace; }
#edit-page-textarea, .code pre, .code p, .code, tt, .page-source { font-family: var(--mono-font); }
.code pre * { white-space: pre; }
.code *, .pre * { font-feature-settings: unset; }
Teletype backgrounds
Adds a light grey background to <tt> elements ({{text}}), so code snippets stand out more.
tt {
background-color: var(--swatch-something-bhl-idk-will-fix-later, #f4f4f4);
font-size: 85%;
padding: 0.2em 0.4em;
margin: 0;
border-radius: 6px;
}
No more bigfaces
Stops big pictures from appearing when you hover over someone's avatar image, because they're stupid and really annoying and you can just click on them if you want to see the big version.
.avatar-hover { display: none !important; }
Breaky breaky
Any text inside a div with class nobreak has line-wrapping happen between every letter.
.nobreak { word-break: break-all; }
Code colours
Add my terminal's code colours as variables. Maybe I'll change this to a more common terminal theme like Monokai or something at some point, but for now it's just my personal theme, which is derived from Tomorrow Night Eighties.
Also, adding the .terminal class to a fake code block as [[div class="code terminal"]] gives it a sort of pseudo-terminal look with a dark background. Doesn't work with [[code]], because Wikidot inserts a bunch of syntax highlighting that you can't change yourself without a bunch of CSS. Use it for non-[[code]] code snippets only.
Quick tool to colourise a 'standard' Wikidot component usage example with the above vars: link
:root {
--c-bg: #393939;
--c-syntax: #e0e0e0;
--c-comment: #999999;
--c-error: #f2777a;
--c-value: #f99157;
--c-symbol: #ffcc66;
--c-string: #99cc99;
--c-operator: #66cccc;
--c-builtin: #70a7df;
--c-keyword: #cc99cc;
}
.terminal, .terminal > .code {
color: var(--c-syntax);
background: var(--c-bg);
border: 0.4rem solid var(--c-comment);
border-radius: 1rem;
}
Debug mode
Draw lines around anything inside .debug-mode. The colour of the lines is red but defers to CSS variable --debug-colour.
You can also add div.debug-info.over and div.debug-info.under inside an element to annotate the debug boxes — though you'll need to make sure to leave enough vertical space that the annotation doesn't overlap the thing above or below it.
.debug-mode, .debug-mode *, .debug-mode *::before, .debug-mode *::after {
outline: 1px solid var(--debug-colour, red);
position: relative;
}
.debug-info {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
font-family: 'Fira Code', monospace;
font-size: 1rem;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.debug-info.over { top: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info.under { bottom: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info p { margin: 0; }

SCP-071-IT-1-A on SCP-071-IT during the first recording log
Element #: SCP-071-IT
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-071-IT must be contained within a standard containment room at Vesta Site.
The room must be well-lit at all times and surveillance cameras must record the front and back of SCP-071-IT 24/7, audio included.
To allow easier filming, SCP-071-IT must be lifted vertically into the air by steel cables passed through the four holes in the corners of the object.
Personnel have free access to the containment room of SCP-071-IT, and a polarized glass window was inserted for free observation.
Description: SCP-071-IT is a deer hide later identified as that of a Cervus elaphus from the Bronze Age, measuring 250x150 centimeters and in perfect condition, with a variegated brown and gray fur.
SCP-071-IT previously belonged to the clothing found with the Similaun Mummy "Ötzi", and it is assumed that the skin must have served as a cold weather cloak.
The anomalous properties of SCP-071-IT are randomly activated (even months or years apart), always followed by a very rough tribal rhythm that are usually audible within a 50-meter radius from the containment room.
On rare occasions, the voice of an unidentified woman may also be heard along with the background sound.
At the end of the music, the anomalous properties of SCP-071-IT will manifest, creating Bronze-colored incisions on the grain of the skin; these incisions will create "scenes" such as an animation consisting in 5 events, which will occur at random dates and times, repeating continuously from first to last.
SCP-071-IT-1-A "The Shepherd"
He is depicted as a stylized adult man, sometimes the arms are out of proportion or the animations are very crude. He appears to be a shepherd of sheeps.
SCP-071-IT-1-B "Consort of the Shepherd"
Depicted via stylization of an adult woman, no distinguishing marks other than a few wisps of ruffled hair.
SCP-071-IT-1-C "Son of the Shepherd"
Small stylized man which depicts a small child of about 8-9 years old.
He always carries a small trinket in his hands.
SCP-071-IT-1-D "Elderly Shepherd"
A stylized shepherd holding a staff, has a hunched posture and is wearing a cloak, from this it is assumed to be a person of old age.
Simple stylized sheep, their animations are very crude.
On ██/██/2015, the scenes began to play back in a distance of months, rather than years like during the beginning of the containment.
Recovery: Several reports of "disturbing noises" heard by some passers-by, who claimed they were coming from inside the Bolzano museum, alerted the
SIR-I, which immediately got in action to conduct an inspection of the museum offices and to recover the surveillance tapes.
Audio recorded at 01:43 of ██/██/2008 inside the laboratories of the Archaeological Museum. The lights had been turned off and therefore the video recording could not be recovered.
A cover-up process was then initiated, informations regarding the coat were removed from museum records and online databases. On ██/██/20██ SCP-071-IT was removed from the museum via a fictitious Foundation artifact restoration agency, and was replaced with an accurate reproduction plant fiber cloak.
VIDEO RECORDINGS LOGS
The following documents are transcripts of SCP-071-IT recordings in its active state.
Supplementary Section
The following note was left in the office next to the SCP-071-IT containment room.
Note by Dr. Simone Cortesi:
I think I will do some research on SCP-071-IT, its recovery has made me very curious.
After some time spent reading about Ötzi's life and after seeing the recording logs, I was amazed by the existence of this anomaly, which led me to binge around his containment chamber in order not to miss the next activation event.
It was magnificent, I'm almost speechless, such an anomaly deserves better, and that's why I have made a request to the site director for a better containment cell to allow the observation of the anomaly by the entire staff.
Yesterday I even went to the museum in Bolzano with my daughter. I saw her interested in the history of Ötzi and linger a lot in front of the shrine where his body is conserved. Too bad I can't tell her about his real story….
Today I'll be transferred to ██████ site, I'm really sorry I won't be able to watch the SCP-071-IT activation events anymore, I really hope my former colleagues find this anomaly as fascinating as I did.
