 | | Set 10177 Mystery
|
|
A couple of things confuse me about the entry for set 10177. First, why is there a link on the Guide page to an image (instead of the "Picture not available" box), but following that link ( (URL) leads to no image? Second, why isn't this set in the (...)

| | Bug fix for disappearing backslash (was: Re: Disappearing backslash?)
|
|
(...) Hmm, that *is* weird. This isn't actually a PML thing, though, but an FTX thing. The FTX-to-HTML converter runs as a seperate self-contained module; all PML parsing occurs prior to the FTX-to-HTML conversion. The backslash in FTX was intended (...)

(...) Hi Travis, sorry, but FTX/Perl isn't _my_ invention ;-) I could imagine it has something to do with Perl (AYMK, LUGNET is based upon Perl). The backslash in combination with a char is a so-called "control character" in Perl and also used to (...) (18 years ago, 2-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) OK, now that's just plain weird. So you're saying that every odd backslash will show up in an FTX post, no matter where they are, right? I confess that I fail to see the reasoning behind this behavior. It's worth noting that I couldn't find (...) (18 years ago, 1-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It doesn't matter whether there is additional text within a double backlash or not: In FTX The first one is used to show the second one. E.g. \ldraw\par\ts\s would become ldraw\parts\s too... -Rene (18 years ago, 1-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) In FTX mode, you have to use a double backslash to be guaranteed that it will show up: ldraw\parts\s. I don't know why the single backslash shows up before the s, but not before the p. --Travis (18 years ago, 1-Aug-06, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

XFUT lugnet.admin.general (...) This is odd. When viewing my original posting through the web interface, the backslash between 'ldraw' and 'parts' is not displayed. But looking at the raw message, the backslash is actually present. I wonder if this (...) (18 years ago, 1-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Curious if this "glitch" can this be fixed or at least explained to me? Often someone posts video clips of a MOC or event and I want to directly save them to my drive.

(...) Since there's a text "tab-delimited" version of the list, parsing the HTML to get the data is both wasteful and fragile. As for the idea of using the list titles to adjust for column updates, well, that's not a bad idea :) (18 years ago, 17-Jul-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
