Frequently Asked Questions
What fields can I include in each event?
Each event can have: date (required), title (required), description (optional), icon (optional), and color (hex value for the marker).
How do I customize event colors?
Add a 'color' property with a hex value (e.g., '#3b82f6') to each event. This changes the marker color for that specific event.
Can I create horizontal timelines?
The preview shows a vertical timeline, but the generated HTML includes orientation classes. You can style it horizontally using the 'orientation': 'horizontal' property.
What's the ideal number of events?
For best visual impact, include 4-8 events. More events work well for detailed histories, but consider breaking very long timelines into sections.
Can I add icons to events?
Yes! Add an 'icon' property with an emoji or icon class name. The generated HTML supports custom icons for each event marker.
