    Hey this is awesome - something a lot of clients are looking for. Haven't had time to test it yet. The two things I'd want to know:

    - Is there a way to display the activity description on the course page in (or around) the card?
    - Is there a way to display an image for the card (similar to how the Grid format does with topics)?

    The description and any images you put in shows in the body of the card - so a qualified yes to both.

    Hello Andrew and thanks for this plugin! I have a question: how can I individualize the section titles to give them a unique style? Because they use names and classes that are shared with other course formats. Thanks!

    Hi Andrew, great plugin. Would it be possible to have the image in the card header also link to the activity?

    The Linked Card already does this, so hopefully it's easy to do, possibly have a toggle for it either at activity, course or site level?

    A possible issue with the Linked Card formatted topic:
    It didn't have a link on the Topic title text, but did have a link on the card image - I'm guessing this is to allow the Topic title text to toggle the collapsible functionality when it's enabled, however this meant that when there was no image in the Topic card, there was no link to click through to the topic's contents.

    Not sure if you'd looked at that use case, but wanted to flag it for you just in case
