Typo in Plugin Guide

Post by Gowermick » 22 May 2016 08:31

Using the help 'Getting started on writing plugins' to write my first plugin, and I noticed that my first attempt at including a newline character in my text didn't work!

Guidance clearly states you just simply add /n in your string to produce.

This should read \n

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned before, if so, why has no-one corrected the Guide?

EDIT There seems to be a consistency of using /n in the text, but then show \n in code

Mike, please report those FH Tools > Plugins > How to Write Plugins Help page mistakes to Calico Pie support.

I found four occurrences:
  • How to Write Plugins
    • 3. Calculate a Birth Year in EXERCISE
      4. How Many People in my File near the bottom
    Create User Interfaces with IUP
    • iup.GetText in PARAMETERS
      iup.Message in PARAMETERS
