**Letter and quill** is an item that can be used to write and edit text. It only has 1 page, but it can fit roughly one 1/3 of a page more text than a single book page.\
Folding finalizes it and prevents further edits, creating a [letter](@envelope:letter).

## Usage
### Writing
<div style={{ display: "flex", flexWrap: "wrap", width: "100%", alignItems: "flex-start" }}>
    <div style={{ flex: 1, marginTop: "-20px"}}>
        By using a book and quill in their hand, the player can open a text editor GUI.

        The player can write 16 lines of text, and each line can have a width of 142 pixels.\
        Letters have text formatting support, similar to [Scholar](https://github.com/mortuusars/Scholar).

        Letter will automatically save changes when GUI is closed.

        <Callout variant="info">Singleplayer world will **not** be paused when editing a letter, unless enabled in config.</Callout>
    </div>

    <center style={{ marginLeft: "1rem", marginRight: "0.2rem" }}>
        <Asset location="envelope:gui/letter_and_quill" width={424} />
        <div style={{ marginTop: "6px"}}>*Letter and Quill interface*</div>
    </center>
</div>

### Copying Letters
Letter and Quill can be used to copy a [letter](@envelope:letter) by crafting both items together.

### Folding
Letters can be folded by pressing the "Fold" button while in the interface, converting it to a [letter](@envelope:letter) item.\
After it has been folded, it cannot be edited again.
