Slightly garbled notes.

Postby Hellzon » Sun Mar 05, 2006 6:45 pm

I have a character who is mapping his island. I have noticed that the ASCII map he's making gets slightly garbled when he copies a note. Copying the text from one note to another manually works just fine, though.

/hellzon - confused.

Can you PM me or send an email to bugs@cantr.net with the name of your character and the name of the note in question

Thank you for sending the information.

There is a problem with the use of the backward slash ("\") in your notes.
The s/w environment treats backward slashes as escape characters so they are being removed when a note is copied

For your Ascii map you will have to a different character for the mean time.

I noted this a couple of months ago while mapping too. I even tried to escape the backslashes using \\ for the diagonal direction and was hoping it would result in a correct \, but it didn't help when copying the notes.

If you edit your map in some editor you could replace all occurances of '\' with '& # 9 2 ;' (without spaces) and all JavaScript enabled browsers would see the correct character on the map. :)

Edit : sixth edit... did I get it right this time? :twisted:
