Write-A-Book

Description
Now you can write your very own books in Starbound, for all your note-taking needs!
Visit your nearest InfinityExpress for a guide on how to get started.

This mod adds a simple crafting station at which you will be able to write your own books from within the game and even share them with your friends (provided they too have the mod installed).
For now there is only one book cover type, but I do plan to add more soon. Also this should work just fine on a multiplayer server, provided both client and server have the mod installed. If you run into any issues, refer to the notes below or let me know via a comment.

NOTES
======

Overall I hope you enjoy this mod, but since it is still a work in progress, here are a few things you might need to know:

* It is likely that you will run into occasional glitches with the cursor in
the editor. In this case, just close and reopen the editor.

* When you open the editor, you can't open your inventory with "I", so you have
to open your inventory via the button in the sidebar to put paper in.

* If you _do not_ use an english keyboard, certain keys WILL NOT work, I
recommend using the paste function to paste any arbitrary text into your book, including text with special characters.

* In multiplayer, ideally only one person would use the "Writing Stand" at a
time, but obviously, you can have multiple of these.

* The ingame guidebook should tell you everything else you need.

Very good! When I dated a person that played starbound I would write some letters on these books and leave them around the planets... Very nice, a great thing to add on starbound

Hey 星河舟,
I'd be happy if you translated it to chinese and I am also interested in integrating it into this version of the mod. Contact me on Steam if you want to chat more about it.

What a fantastic mod! And the layout of the finished books is super pleasant and nice. Good job!

Some characters don't work properly or just write "unknown".

Never mind! I found out the correct way to color text.

Just for any of you who are confused as I was, remove the <> when choosing your color.
Example:
^Red;
