- About Escape Sequences
- ----------------------
- Tux Paint allows the use of HTML escape sequences in the description files
- (".txt" files) it reads when loading Rubber Stamp images.
- (See README.txt for more information on creating your own rubber stamps.)
-
- The escape sequences provide a way of entering hard-to-type ASCII
- characters into the text file. The escape sequences Tux Paint supports
- are identical to those used in HTML pages on the web.
-
- A sequence begins with the "&" character (ampersand), and ends with
- the ";" character (semicolon). For example: "ï".
-
-
- Using Escape Sequences in Tux Paint
- -----------------------------------
- To use a string containing escape sequences in a rubber stamp description
- file (the ".txt" file that corresponds to the stamps ".png" image file),
- the line containing the translated description should begin with the
- language's "locale code", followed by ".esc=" and the description text.
-
- For example, a Spanish translation of a string in plain ASCII might look
- like this:
-
- es=Hola
-
- A Spanish translation that takes advantage of the HTML-style escape
- sequences might look like this:
-
- es.esc=¡Hola niños!
-
-
- In both cases, the "es" at the beginning of the line corresponds to the
- language of the description: Spanish.
- (See README.txt for a list of languages supported by Tux Paint, and their
- locale codes.)
-
- In the latter example, the "¡" is an 'escape sequence' that
- represents an inverted (upside-down) exclamation point ("!"), which
- looks like this: "í"
-
- The "ñ" represents an "n" with a tilde ("~") over it.
- The Spanish character: "±"
-
-
- This example could have been easily done using plain ASCII, like so:
-
- es=íHola ni±os!
-
- However, depending on the text editor being used, typing that literally
- may not be an easy task. Typing the letters A-Z and punctuation should
- never be a problem, though. This is why escape sequence support was
- added to Tux Paint.
-
-
- NOTE: Since the ampersand character ("&") is used to denote the beginning
- of an escape sequence, it itself must be escaped. Use the sequence "&"
-
- For example, in plain ASCII:
-
- xx=This & that
-
- Should be written as follows when using the escape sequence mode:
-
- xx.esc=This & that
-
-
- The following is INCORRECT, and will end up truncated to just the word "This":
-
- xx.esc=This & that
-
