We need to see your existing code before we can suggest changes.

Answer 2

> ...going from left to right ... instead from top to bottom like this?

By default each line-break you add to the content of a passage gets automatically converted to a HTML br element, and (without seeing your code) I'm guessing that this effect is what is causing your 'buttons' to appear on different lines.

So if your code looks something like the following...

<<button "Option 1">>
	...do something...
<</button>>
<<button "Option 2">>
	...do something...
<</button>>
<<button "Option 3">>
	...do something...
<</button>>

... then the generated HTML buttons would appear 'top to bottom' on the page.

However if you used Line Continuations to suppress some of the line-breaks like so...

<<button "Option 1">>
	...do something...
<</button>>\
<<button "Option 2">>
	...do something...
<</button>>\
<<button "Option 3">>
	...do something...
<</button>>

...then the generated buttons would appear 'left to right'.

You could also use the <<nobr>> macro to achieve a similar visual result..

<<nobr>>
	<<button "Option 1">>
		...do something...
	<</button>>
	<<button "Option 2">>
		...do something...
	<</button>>
	<<button "Option 3">>
		...do something...
	<</button>>
<</nobr>>

My buttons look like the above.

This is what the player chooses as a background

<span title="This background allows you to pick two perks"><<button "DBlePick" "part6">>
<<set $playerBackground= "DblePick">>
<<set $playertrait="true">>
<<set $playerpicks= 2>>
<</button>></span>


These are the perks
<span title="This perk allows the player to hit twice against an enemy."><<button "Double Attack" "part6">>
<<set $attackTwice= "true">>
<<set $attack1 = "$playersweaponAttack"+ "$playerBonus">>
<<set $attack2 = "$playersweaponAttack"+ "$playerBonus"/2(maybe get this to round up or down?>>
<</button>></span>

<span title="Gain Extra stamina for your attacks to use."><<button "Stamina Pack" "part6">>
<<set $playerStamina= "$constitution" +5>>
<</button>></span>

<span title="None, you don't want the above perks"><<button "None" "part6">><</button>></span>

<span title="You gain a an edge in defense"><<button "Protector" "part6">>
<<set $playerAC= "$playerAC" + 5>>
<</button>></span>

<span title="You swing wide, cleaving all enemies"><<button "Cleave" "part6">>
<<If $enemy number >= 1>>
<<set $damage= $weaponDamage>>
??????
<</if>>
<</button>></span>

<<if $playerBackground="DblePick">>

<</if>>

I have already explained in my previous comment how to use Line Continuations or <<nobr>> macros to suppress unwanted line-breaks from appearing in the visual output of your Passage.

I suggest you try using <<nobr>> macros in your passages and see what happens.
