## Description

A suite for Worldbuilders, Storytellers, and Mapmakers – Turn an image into an interactive
canvas to create informational maps and stories, which can be linked with wiki articles
and glossaries.

Three toolsets sit behind one **CNS** settings screen: Wiki, Maps and Stories. The
wiki can be switched off if you do not need it, and the glossary is off until you
turn it on.

**Maps**

A canvas map editor with its own admin screen. Place objects, draw areas, add labels,
and publish the result through a block.

 * Objects can render as a circle, square, diamond, icon or their own title as text,
   each with its own size, colours and border.
 * Areas are drawn as polygons, rectangles, ellipses or bezier curves, with per-
   area fill, stroke and label styling.
 * Any object or area can open an infobox drawer on click, either written inline
   or pulled from a linked post.
 * MasterMaps nest maps inside each other: draw a region on a parent map and it 
   links through to the child map.
 * On the front end the map supports zoom, a fullscreen view, and visitor toggles
   that show or hide areas, objects and labels independently.

**Wiki**

Wiki articles nest inside one another, so a child article’s URL carries its parent’s
path.

 * **Infobox**, **Infobox Group** and **Infobox Row** blocks build a structured 
   sidebar box. Its display mode either collapses groups on mobile or keeps everything
   expanded, and each group can override that.
 * **Wiki Card** and **Wiki Contents** render a responsive card grid, filled by 
   hand or automatically from your newest articles.
 * An optional glossary (off by default) adds inline terms with hover definitions,
   plus a **Glossary Index** block that lists every entry grouped alphabetically
   or by category, with its own heading and entry colours, sizes and column count.
   Definitions and links are resolved when the page renders, so they never go stale.

**Stories**

A canvas editor for branching stories laid over one of your maps.

 * Nodes, paths and directed edges, with substories holding the content shown at
   each node.
 * The linked map renders underneath in full — its areas, objects, labels and infoboxes
   all stay interactive — while story elements draw on top and take click priority.
 * The same zoom, fullscreen and layer toggles as the map block, inheriting the 
   linked map’s control colours.
 * Readers open a node from the canvas or from the list beside it. You can set a
   default thumbnail for stories without their own image, hide the list so nodes
   open only in a dialog, and stop the underlying map’s own elements responding 
   to clicks if you want the story nodes to be the only thing readable.

**Your world stays on your site**

Clouds and Spaceships never sends anything anywhere. There is no account to create
and no service to connect, no tracking and no analytics, and nothing is loaded from
another server. It uses no external services at all: everything you write and draw
stays in your own WordPress site.

**Source code**

The JavaScript and CSS in the `build/` folder are compiled. The uncompiled source
code and build tools are publicly available on GitHub: https://github.com/Marian-
L-M/clouds-and-spaceships-wp-plugin

To build it yourself, install Node.js (20.19 or later) and run `npm ci` followed
by `npm run build` in the plugin folder. `npm ci` installs the exact dependency 
versions recorded in `package-lock.json`; the build uses `@wordpress/scripts` and
writes the compiled files from `src/` to `build/`.

## FAQ

### Do I have to use all three toolsets?

You can ignore any of them — nothing appears on your site until you create a map,
a story or a wiki article. The wiki also has an on/off switch on its settings tab:
turning it off hides wiki articles and their listing from your site, while the articles
themselves stay put and reappear when you switch it back on. The glossary is a separate
switch, and it starts off.

### Does a story need a map?

Not strictly — a story without a linked map still renders, just with nothing behind
its nodes and paths. Linking a map is the point of the feature, though: the map 
supplies the backdrop the story is laid over, and the story block then draws that
map’s areas, objects and labels underneath its own elements.

### Can my theme override the templates?

Yes. The single templates for maps, wiki articles and stories are registered by 
the plugin and sit below theme templates, so a theme shipping a template of the 
same name wins.

### Does the plugin send any data anywhere?

No. Nothing you create is sent off your site, and the plugin contacts no outside
service of any kind.

### What happens to my content if I uninstall?

Deleting the plugin runs its uninstaller; deactivating it does not.

**Maps and stories are always deleted.** A map is the objects, areas and labels 
stored in the plugin’s own database tables, and a story is its nodes, paths and 
edges. Those tables are always dropped on uninstall, so a map or story post left
behind would be an empty entry nothing could render or edit. Images you used stay
in your media library.

**Substories, wiki articles and glossary entries are kept unless you opt in.** These
are articles in their own right, so each has a Danger Zone setting, off by default,
that deletes them. Left alone, their text stays in your database and comes back 
if you reinstall the plugin.

The plugin’s settings are always removed. If you intend to come back, back up first—
or just deactivate instead of deleting, which touches nothing.
