What it doesn't do

Pages are not created for you by the game, and timers are not automatically added in or counted down. You must create your own pages and remember to start your own timers.
Basic formatting (bold, italics, lists, hyperlinks) cannot be created in the journal. Regular and Special characters are allowed, as are line breaks.
You may only view the journal of the character you are currently logged on to.
Your journal is stored locally. If you use multiple computers, the same journal will not automatically be available on all machines. You will have to manually copy journal files if you wish to keep all machine up to date and using the same files.
