How to Link to a Timeline

Timelines let you display the historical progression of your world. Here's how to link to your timelines from anywhere on World Anvil!

 
  1. Open the Timelines side menu and find the timeline you want to link to.
  2. Click on the copy button to get the embed code in your clipboard.
  3. Paste it in the article.
 

To use a link with a custom displayed text (instead of the timeline title), simply use a closing BBCode tag instead. For example, if your timeline code is [timeline:123], use [timeline:123]Custom text here[/timeline]
