[18.30] Confusing message in ghost planner tutorial

Post by garath »

Doing the last ghost planner tutorial in [18.30], it tells you to press a particular key sequence to plan a route that doesn't require deconstructing objects in the path. It appears to tell to press __CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__

The correct text to be displayed should be:
Hold CONTROL instead of SHIFT to have the planner try to avoid all obstacles. You may have to plan the rail in several sections to complete a long route.
This is a bug.

The parser is getting confused about the explicit mentioning of the CONTROL key and thinks it should do something about it, while it should not.
The underscore sequences
__CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__
and
__CONTROL_STYLE_END__
only indicate a change of font formatting, making the text in between these two semibold and blue.

The parser apparently cannot handle
__CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__CONTROL__CONTROL_STYLE_END__

[edit]:
It should actually be __CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__Control__CONTROL_STYLE_END__ and __CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__Shift__CONTROL_STYLE_END__, which makes this a bug in the English locale. I don't think the parser would remain confused if the enclosed text is no longer in allcaps.

This is not fixed in 0.18.33, although the English proofreading is supposed to be complete.
