ASCII art, topics, and my own fix

Post by AF »

Since nobody made any progress with the last thread, and the bug in delphis GUI kit was being touted as a feature, and a very real problem affecting every lobby except tasclient, I decided to actually do something about it.

The next svn commit of aflobby will replace "\n" with a new line***

edit:: oops I posted too soon

Ok, after next Spring release we'll change main topic to use \n instead of spaces.

I still think it is correct behaviour btw, not a bug. For example, wordpad and OpenOffice.org do it too :-)

It's just another design decision next to converting runs of whitespace to a single space (like HTML) or putting excessive whitespace on the next line before the first word of that line (like notepad).

I hate it when excessive white spaces are getting stripped, you have to replace your fixed ones with fake white spaces.

This has been implemented in TASClient now.

Is ChanServ going to be fixed to not strip whitespace?

Oh and not wrapping until after spaces end is definitely a feature, not a bug. Just think of normal text: would you want lines starting with spaces because of the way the text happens to lay?
