View Types

Introduction

A view is just our terminology for a page type, or a mode. There are a lot of different ways to look at one's journal --- the default way is the "lastn" view, where it shows the last 'n' most recent events, in reverse order. However, there's also a calendar view, a day view when you click a day on the calendar, and more coming soon (a search page, and a search results page). Each and every view type is customizable through the style system, which you should read up on if you haven't already.

Below is a list of all the view types, descriptions of them, and the variables that affect them.

lastn: Most Recent Entries

The default view, a reverse-chronological list of the last 'n' items in your journal, where 'n' is an integer value that the user may specify. Usually 'n' defaults to something like 20. Example page.
