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__
I assume this just hasn't been finished yet.

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.

Thanks for the bump, I have fixed it for the next release
