CSS in HTML Logging?
|
Can I use CSS inline HTML for HTML logging?
Here's what I want to do:
| Code: |
<trigger name="Write Tick" priority="2020" id="202">
<pattern>^Timer now at 41 secs.</pattern>
<value>#WRITELOG Timer now at 41 secs.</value>
</trigger>
|
I don't want all of the command or status echoes to be logged, but I do want this one echoed so I figured I'd writelog it. Since I've got color logging I figured I would writelog it the color it is in the program which is a dark orange, however it is simply being written in default gray at the moment. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. |

My guess would be that because you're not quoting any of the string, some of it's being interpreted before the log is printed. It's also possible that the routine that outputs things to the log sanitises the input first, stopping any tags in your text from being rendered.

So I should put quotes around the whole thing?

I have no idea if that'll work or not and neither, I suspect, does anyone else - using HTML logging in this way hasn't been talked about any more. It was just a suggestion - try things out and see if something works.

Nope, didn't work either. I guess I'll play with it more later.

Show the resulting html tag in your log for your tick message?
It should look like <span style="color:#xxxxxx;"> |

I see no special tags for the timer message. By the way, how you got this html code? Is this from some external tool? What CMUD version?
When I tried to set html logging in CMUD 2.37 and looked at the resulting file using "notepad" it had different format, color by <span> and no html headers.
Also, your trigger sets no color, it just does #writelog, so I guess it does what it supposed to do: writes the message without any colors to your log.
How it becomes orange on your screen? Do you have an additional color trigger for it or it's some sort of default color for something? If this is the case, I don't think CMUD can make any connection between that color trigger and your writelog-trigger. |

I saved it in .html from the editor and then opened it in CMUD, though I suppose since the editor saw it in default color it would strip any attempt at a tag, I'll have to look at the original html file. This source came from "view source" in Firefox.

MY trigger does set color, it sets it in html format, but that's not working. Since I log in HTML I have to put HTML in my writelog for it to work. I've already done it before for something else, but it doesn't seem to like the CSS I have embedded in my HTML tag. Orange is the color I have set for CMUD messages, it's not colored by a trigger. However, anything writelogged will be done in default color unless told otherwise, which I did. |

The CMUD editor is not a full-featured HTML editor. So don't try to use complex stuff like CSS and expect it to work fully in CMUD. You need to use a *real* HTML editor if you want full CSS support.
The #WRITELOG will write whatever you give it to the log file. If you add CSS, then #WRITELOG will write it. #WRITELOG doesn't care what text you send...it's just directly written to the log file. So my guess is that the problem you are having is with loading the text into the CMUD editor and not with the #WRITELOG command. |

That would certainly make sense.  Thanks. |
