This module adds a variety of journal related quality-of-life features as well as several new and specialized journal types.
This module comes with additional fonts for styling your journals.
Pressing this button will bring up a filepicker; here you can add a sound file and adjust options for it. If auto-play is enabled, the sound will play for a player whenever they have that journal open.
The sound can be toggled on and off using this button that will appear if a sound has been added.
This feature uses the Interface volume by default; if Monk's Sound Enhancements is installed, it instead uses the Sound Effects volume provided.
