There is no visual or code information about type of study chapters

[Siderite]

Right now people can choose between four different types of study chapters, but there is no visual indicator or CSS class about which is which. Moreover, that information is not even available in the study.list.all() chapter list on the JavaScript side.

I think it would be a good idea to address that.

Four different types ? can you enumerate them ? I'd be happy to understand better

When you create a study chapter you have a choice between:

• normal
• practice with computer
• hide next moves
• interactive lesson

I honestly never understood the purpose of practice with computer and hide next moves and I doubt people use them much. My own LiChess Tools extension started as a feature to extend interactive lessons to play all variations.

I see ... thanks

Actually, I discovered the 'Hide next moves' mode while I was reading the source code.

It is used by teachers or coaches: in this mode, only the creator of the chapter will see all the moves in the right hand side view. The moves after the current position are greyed. They are not displayed at all for the spectators of the study.

I remember I played with it a bit and it was buggy, or at least it looked like it. Maybe I should look into it some more.

Where would you expect to see such visual indicator? In the chapter list on the left side?

As for list.all() it doesn't have that info, because lichess ui/study doesn't need it atm.

Maybe an icon or something
