How do you shorten long codes (e.g., CC template)? Like the arrows on Episode’s CC template before you collapse the code open.

Hey @jiroji you can hide long parts of your code by putting two brackets around it, like this…

#NAME {

CODE…

#}

Thank you! One more thing, what do I do after? I put this in but it’s still a long code. :sweat_smile:

Did you put the two brackets between the code you want to hide?
You can hide further details within the overall brackets too…

#NAME{

CODE…

{MORE CODE…} <Like this

#}

Oh! You just press the little arrow that should come up on the left on the first or last bracket code line
