AllCodex includes a powerful share rendering engine. You can publish a folder or branch of your lore tree as a public, read-only website for your players to browse, while keeping secret GM notes and draft content completely hidden.

​
Setting up a Share Subtree

To publish a section of your grimoire:
  1. Tag the Share Root: Go to the note or folder you want to share and attach the label #shareRoot.
  2. Access the URL: The share will be served at http://your-core-ip:8080/share/noteId (or via custom slugs).

​
Share Configuration Labels

You can fine-tune how shared trees behave by adding these canonical labels to your notes:
LabelValueDescription
#shareRoot(none)Designates the selected note and all of its sub-notes as a public share.
#shareAliasslug-stringCreates a custom, human-readable URL slug (e.g. #shareAlias = "blackstone" serves the note at /share/blackstone).
#shareCredentialsuser:passwordSets Basic HTTP Authentication. Visitors must enter this username and password to view the share.
#shareIndex(none)Marks the selected note as the default home/landing page of the share.
#shareHiddenFromTree(none)Keeps the note accessible via direct link, but hides it from the sidebar navigation tree.
#shareDisallowRobotIndexing(none)Injects noindex headers to prevent Google and search engines from indexing your campaign wiki.

​
Hiding Secret GM Content

You don’t have to maintain separate “player” and “GM” wikis. AllCodex allows you to mix player-safe lore and GM secrets in the same notes, using two gating mechanisms:

​
Note-Level Gates

  • #draft Tag: If you add #draft to a note, it will be completely hidden from the public share navigation, even if it lives inside a shared folder.
  • #gmOnly Tag: If you add #gmOnly to a note, it will return a 404 Not Found to any public visitor, keeping your secrets secure.

​
Section-Level Gates (HTML Classes)

If you want players to read a note’s general description but hide specific spoilers, you can gate individual paragraphs, lists, or tables:
  • Wrap your secrets in a container with the CSS class .gm-only.
  • The Core share renderer automatically parses note HTML at output time and strips out any element containing the .gm-only class before sending it to public visitors.
<p>Commander Vane is a legendary general.</p>

<!-- This block is stripped from player views: -->
<div class="gm-only">
  <p><strong>GM Spoiler:</strong> Vane is secretly a vampire lord working for the Lich.</p>
</div>
