Request: ' escaping for newlispdoc

Post by TedWalther »

In newlispdoc I've run across a few scenarios where I want to use the single quote and not have it be interpreted as a tt tag. I understand there is an html entity I could use intead; could we add the \' escape though?

Oops. newlispdoc doesn't like html entities. If support for html entities (such as &, &squo;, >) could be added, I withdraw my request for a \' escape sequence.

The HTML entities >, < and & do work fine in newlispdoc.

For those which don't work, use HTML entities with char numbers, e.g. &_#_0_3_9 ; works for the single quote (underscores added to avoid translation to ' by the forum).

Thanks, that worked. The documentation is done, now I'm putting in error handling and fitting the functions to the API as much as makes sense. Is taking much longer than I thought it would.
