Newcomers

Hi everyone! I'm new here, but quite ambitious nevertheless
I have 2 questions today:
1) Is there any way to search existing forum posts to see if my question has already been asked/answered?
2) The "Book of AI" section says that I can enter
tags into my responses and the HTML will be rendered. I tried this in my "Seek" response; but after I enter the text, all HTML tags disappear and no breaks are rendered. Is this a known bug, or is there some other trick to it? Thanks!!

Ha... funny... in my post above, I actually typed the break tag < br > and it became a new line there. Yet it doesn't seem to be working in my Seek response...

Oh, that's scary to know. Based on how much time and effort I'm putting into mine, I'll probably be doing it everyday now.

Thanks!

Maverick Martin try importing the < br > sometimes that will work.

Ok. I haven't tried importing yet, but I will give it a shot. Thanks, Prob!

Hmm... ok, I tried importing with the < br > tags. Unfortunately, to no avail. After I imported, my tags were again stripped out of the text. I also tried anchor < a > (link) tags; these were removed, too.
It's not a big deal; just kind of annoying. I wanted to create a menu with one entry/link per line.

If you chat with Korrolan and trigger his xnone, he will eventually ask you if you want to see a menu of characters. Answer yes and he will show you the [unsatisfying] result

The line break used to work. I used in in poems and in the tic tac toe game. I used to have to import them though. Put a message in bug stomp or contact the professor.

hey can anyone tell me what does the "x" in "xnone" or "xinitiate" mean?

It is just a way to keep all special keyphrases together. I think the Professor chose x, because there are very few words that actually start with this letter.

Btw, you can't start a self-defined keyphrase with an x.

You can have a keyphrase with x if you use something like
([x]+)([b]+)([ox]+) (re)

You're right, prob123, but Regular Expressions are a rather advanced topic, and you can't make use of the PF's built-in advanced text parsing and plug-in features.


(Btw, a simple

[x]box(re)

would do.)

EDIT:

I've just tried it - you can start a normal keyphrase with an x at the beginning if you use a local plugin that consists of just two times the first word:

(xylophone|xylophone) music is (*)

In the Language Center, you'll find that keyphrase among the special x-keywords.
