Hi guys,
I have just posted the below issue on github. I am reposting it on the list
because it is a "silent fail", and I thought it might affect some tables
without anyone being aware of it.
1. Make a file called testbackslash.ctb with the following lines:
# This is a backslash \
word foo 124
word bar 12
2. Run in lou_trace together with a computer Braille table, e.g.
da-dk-g08.ctb.
3. Type foo bar, and you get foo b as the result (expected f b).
It doesn't matter if you have one or two backslashes at the end of the line.
Also, you can use an opcode in stead of a comment, e.g. nocont \. It will
still void the following line, and the opcode itself will fail silently. If
you must use a backslash at the end of a line as part of an opcode or a
comment, you have to enter \x005c.
Is this some attempt at a line continuation feature that was never finished
or documentet?
Perhaps it is worth considering if this "feature" can explain other known
issues.
