1 A displayer is the layout a list of changes is rendered with. The [[custom report form>>doc:documentation.extensions.user.release-notes.generate-report.WebHome]] offers the four below in a drop-down, and the [[displayChanges macro>>doc:documentation.extensions.dev.release-notes.displaychanges-macro.WebHome]] takes the same names in its ##displayer## parameter. A release note uses ##simple## for the changes that carry a screenshot and ##list## for the others.

3 == Grid ==
4
5 Cards laid out in columns, each holding the change title, then its media, then its summary. A card holds a single medium: the screenshots of the change when it has any, otherwise its first video, otherwise a placeholder picture. This is the default.

7 {{image reference="displayer-grid.png" size="large" alt="Changes rendered as a grid of cards, each with its title above its screenshot and its summary"/}}

9 {{version product="Release Notes Application" before="2.5"}}The media came above the title, the cards had no border of their own, and a change referencing several videos displayed all of them.{{/version}}

11 == Flow ==
12
13 One row per change, with the media on the left and the title and summary on the right. A row holds the same single medium as a grid card, and the two halves sit side by side from medium screens up, stacking on anything narrower.

15 {{image reference="displayer-flow.png" size="large" alt="Changes rendered as rows with the media on the left and the text on the right, the last change showing the placeholder picture"/}}
16
17 {{version product="Release Notes Application" before="2.6.1"}}A change with no screenshot was given an empty column, the two halves stayed side by side at every width, and the medium started lower than the title beside it.{{/version}}

19 == Simple ==
20
21 One section per change, with the screenshots in a gallery and a link to the change page when it has a description.

23 {{image reference="displayer-simple.png" size="large" alt="A change rendered as a section with its title, summary and a screenshot gallery"/}}
24
25 == List ==
26
27 A bullet list of titles and summaries, with no screenshots. This is the compact form used for the miscellaneous changes.
