Adding Quotes to the website

Nice, fixed - easy to find it now that Series is there.

And yes you won’t believe the number of times I’ve cursed them for using “Day One” has an episode name twice in the same TV show!!

I assume there’s a character limit on these, I transcribed and tried to submit a particularly touching monologue from Jago & Litefoot Forever, but checking my profile it got truncated to the last little snippet.

What's left of the quote, I recommend hearing it yourself!

No character limit I know of, but shauny does add them all manually himself.

There’s no character limit, what may have happened is if there is a colon : then it can cause issues because of how I’ve done it, I usually go in and fix those before I publish them :grinning:

Aaah yeah there was a colon, sorry about that. :sweat:

No it’s my fault, it’s something I’ve been meaning to fix! Quotes should be able to contain colons :sweat_smile:

I’ve edited your quote now so it works, anyway - a temporary fix

Another thing I’ve found is that if a line has two parentheticals, everything between them is italicized too, e.g., Classic frivolity · TARDIS Guide

I think this is pretty low on the priorities list though!

Ah yes, good spot!

I need to up my RegEx game… (IYKYK)

I can send you a list of my quotes that need corrections (which could be carried out without modifying the regex by just removing parentheticals and substituting dashes and semicolons), but as I say, it’s probably a low priority and I don’t want to burden you.

I’ll try to sort it with the RegEx later, but thank you! :pray:

Just to let you know, I fixed this now (because I’m working on the new site, and am now working on quotes), and also applied the fix to the current live site.

Can you check a couple of your quotes and see if they are all fixed?

Thanks so much :smiley:
