What delimiters can NOT be used?

joelcarlton opened this issue · comments

I have tried \n \n and it does not appear that the escape gets set.

I have also set other characters like * and | but these don't work either.

Using \n \n as a delimiter may have some unintended behavior. I have not fully tested this it but characters such as * and | should be supported. Can you specify what platform you are on, your OBS version, the plugin version, and upload a copy of the file you are trying to parse?

I have encountered this as well and consider it a bug. If a delimiter is set, any time the text exceeds 235 characters, the plugin does not function as intended.

Windows 10
OBS 27.1.3
Plugin version 1.5.1

Attached are two test files:
OTSS Delim Normal.txt
OTSS Delim Error.txt

Furthermore, when a delimiter is placed as a single character on a line, an empty line is added to the previous slide whereas the expected behavior would be that this line would not be parsed.

As an illustration, attached is a slightly longer text file with the resulting OBS dock:
OTSS Delim Error2.txt
OTSS Delim Error 2 Dock result

Fixes for the mentioned bugs have been tested on Linux and pushed to the dev branch. Need to conduct testing on Windows and MacOs before merging to master and releasing a new version

Looking forward for update to fix 255 character limit.

342fc2e and 2373d26 fixed the issue on Linux but the bug still persists on Windows. Working on debugging and figuring out a fix for Windows
