DAN - Before you leave

[RPMiller]

Have a great vacation! I'm assuming it is a vacation? You deserve it for putting up with all the rabble!

I'm experiencing an odd phenomenon, characters with names under the Perks, and Talents are exporting with the italic tags instead of actually being italics. This is happening in all the RTF, Text, and XML export templates. It is not occurring in the HTML export templates. Any ideas?

In fact I'm now noticing little errors everywhere within the character templates in HD. It's as if the changes you made before are no longer happening regarding the WG formatting. Very odd... Did a file get missed or something during the last update?

Thanks!

Actually, this would appear to be something which has been around since day 1....nothing has changed in this area at all.

The issue is that everything except for Powers and Equipment are outputting the full text <i>including the name</i> in the *_TEXT tags. When the name is included in this way, it is surrounded with HTML italics tags, as that is the way the program uses them.

What I've done is remove the name from all *_TEXT output during the export process. This means that if you want to display the name of a Perk, you'll need to do it the same way you do for Powers: Include a &lt;!--NAME--&gt tag (and the optional &lt!--IFNAME--&gt; ... &lt;!--/IFNAME--&gt; container).

This means that the exports will be a bit different as of the next update....anyone that was relying on the *_TEXT tags to export the name of the Perk/Skill/whatever will need to get an edited/updated template. My hope is that this won't impact too many people, as we haven't heard about this issue until now.

Thank you Dan! I hadn't ever seen that before, probably because the only thing that had names for me were the Powers and they seemed to work just fine so... yes, I made an assumption...

So, you are saying that the powers are already setup the way you describe, and now the Skills, Perks and Talents will be as well? Do I have that correct? If so, let me know, and I'll do a quick update to my Export Templates.

Again, thank you Dan, and have a good time on your trip! :D

PS What about the formatting issues? Is everything intact as per the previous updates? A few items changed to the old way with the last update, so I wanted to make sure that you got everything updated in the update before you abandon us. :( ;) :) :D

Powers and Equipment were/are working fine. All other abilities now function like they do.

As for the formatting, I haven't changed anything.

Actually, correction on this: I've changed the formatting on the Powers Absorption-EGO Attack.....primarily minor tweaks to bring them in line with WG 1.1
