Release titles

Give a release a title by putting it after the version, separated by a middle dot (·). The date still follows a dash. The title renders inside the release heading, after the version.

{% changelog %}
## v1.3.0 · Faster builds - March 2025

Builds reuse their cache, and the CLI reports what it skipped.

## v1.2.0 - January 2025

- Added timeline and changelog runes

After a title, the dash before the date needs a space on each side, so a title can contain a hyphen (render-stack) but not -. Both the title and the date are optional.

Attributes

changelog

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
projectstring—Project name displayed in the changelog header.

Universal attributes

bg

The background layer (SPEC-088): image, video, gradient, flat overlay wash and legibility scrim, in a single injected layer behind the rune's content.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
bgstring—Background preset applied to this block
bg-fromstring—Gradient start colour — a semantic token name (→ var(--rf-color-*))
bg-gradient"to-t" | "to-b" | "to-l" | "to-r" | "to-tr" | "to-br" | "to-bl" | "to-tl"—Gradient direction (bounded named set)
bg-gradient-type"linear" | "radial" | "conic"—Gradient type
bg-tostring—Gradient end colour — a semantic token name
bg-viastring—Optional middle gradient stop — a semantic token name
scrim"top" | "bottom" | "left" | "right" | "none"—Scrim direction (heaviest edge); presence turns the scrim on, "none" opts out of the default cover scrim
scrim-blur"none" | "sm" | "md" | "lg"—Frost scrim blur amount
scrim-strength"sm" | "md" | "lg"—Gradient scrim strength
scrim-tone"dark" | "light"—Whether the scrim darkens (for light text) or lightens (for dark text)
scrim-type"gradient" | "frost"—Scrim treatment: gradient (default) or frost (backdrop blur)
elevation

The chrome/depth ladder (SPEC-107). The skin maps each rung to a chrome bundle by attribute, so there is no BEM class.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
elevation"sunken" | "flush" | "flat" | "raised" | "floating" | "overlay" | "none" | "sm" | "md" | "lg"—Surface depth on the SPEC-107 ladder (sunken→overlay); none/sm/md/lg are deprecated aliases
inset

Internal padding override.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
inset"flush" | "tight" | "default" | "loose" | "breathe"—Inner padding of this block
motion

Scroll-reveal entrance (SPEC-105). The author declares the character, the theme owns the choreography, a behaviour owns the timing.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
reveal"none" | "fade" | "slide" | "scale" | "blur"—Scroll-reveal entrance character (none|fade|slide|scale|blur); the theme owns the choreography
staggerboolean—Cascade this block's items in as it reveals (no-op on single-child runes)
prominence

Header emphasis (SPEC-107). Scales a rune's page-section header; the skin maps it to a type register by attribute, so there is no BEM class.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
prominence"quiet" | "normal" | "prominent" | "display"—Section-header emphasis (only on page-section-header family runes)
spacing

Block-level rhythm override.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
spacing"flush" | "tight" | "default" | "loose" | "breathe"—Vertical spacing above and below this block
substrate

Generated pattern fills (SPEC-087). Markers only — the engine sets the attributes and cell/opacity custom properties, CSS draws the pattern.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
substrate"dots" | "grid" | "lines" | "cross" | "checker" | "none"—Generated surface pattern
substrate-fill"inherit" | "inset"—Surface fill the pattern sits on (full colour stays with tint)
substrate-opacity"sm" | "md" | "lg"—Pattern ink strength
substrate-size"sm" | "md" | "lg"—Pattern cell size
substrate-target"self" | "media"—Which surface the pattern fills (overrides the rune/theme default)
tint

Per-rune colour override (SPEC-053): a named tint from the theme registry, with inline per-token overrides layered on top.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
tintstring—Color tint preset applied to this block
tint-mode"auto" | "dark" | "light"—Whether the tint adapts to auto, dark, or light mode
width

The track a block rune occupies.

AttributeTypeRequiredDescription
width"compact" | "narrow" | "content" | "wide" | "full"—Maximum width constraint for this block
Not availableWhy
dropcap, readingthis rune declares no prose body
framethis rune declares neither a `frameTarget` nor a media section
