View Full Version : How about a NOT_LIST tag?

Dan,
I had an epiphany of sorts. You can reuse tags over and over again! I was thinking to linear.
Here's my idea:
I want the List in Martial Arts to go before the Maneuver heading, and the maneuvers to follow the heading so I'm thinking why not use the MartialArts tag twice.
Something like this:
IFMARTIAL_ARTS
MARTIAL_ARTS
IS_LIST
"MArtial Arts: name"
/IS_LIST
/MARTIAL_ARTS
/IFMARTIAL_ARTS
IFMARTIAL_ARTS
MARTIAL_ARTS
Maneuver OCV DCV Notes
NOT_LIST
maneuver1
maneuver2
etc...
/NOT_LIST
/MARTIAL_ARTS
/IFMARTIAL_ARTS

Does that make sense? Can I do that now? The NOT_LIST tag would be used to surpress the list from being displayed again. Is that do-able? Again, I don't want to over complicate things, but I'm assuming that the mechanisms are there to implement this.

It's certainly doable...but you'd probably be better off using the MANEUVERS container (to list only maneuvers).

Just another note on this:

I've gone ahead and implemented an IS_NOT_LIST container (valid anywhere that IS_LIST is valid)....I think it's a good idea to have regardless of whether it's the best way to do what you're looking for.

I'll include the change in the next update.
