Hi, why quest recognize this code <br/> but doesnt recognize this one <hr/> ?

Quest is coded to recognize only a few html tags. This will be changed in Q5.3

Hi just reading your post and i`m puzzled I know br stands for break but what is hr? Thanks Terry

It prints a horizontal line

Cool! Sorry to bother but is there an estimated release date for the new version?

beta in October.

Hi guys, here is a tricky question, When including the code <hr/> there is a lot of space between the line ___ and the text of the next line. Is there a way to change that?

If you could show an example, that would be helpful. For example, if you use msg, then there will be a line break after the hr, but if you use OutputTextNoBr, then there won't be. It might also depend on the current font size.

Here it goes a sample...

Both of your <hr> outputs look like this:

msg("<hr/> <br/>test")

If you take out the <br/> from it, it's much tighter. I'm fairly certain <hr> does its own line break.

sorry, not a good sample then, here is another one, no breaks...

Use

OutputTextNoBr ("<hr/>")

instead of

msg("<hr/> ")

The <hr> adds its own line break. Doing a standard msg will add another.

BTW, the standard HTML tag is "<hr>" without the XML-like slash. (The same for "<br>".) I believe it will work fine in XHTML-compliant browsers, but it's not standard HTML that way. Just beware...

thanks, for some reason doesn't work in some places, I want to put it after the objects list, so i change the ShowRoomDescription but it appears after the verb, not the "you can see"...

Not sure, but this might be different:

OutputTextNoBr ("<div style='width:100%; display:block'><hr></div>")

Here's an alternative I have used. Instead of hr, use a border on a full-width div:

OutputTextNoBr("<div style='border-top-style:dashed; border-width:1px; border-color:#808080; height:2px; width:100%;'></div>")
msg ("test3")
OutputTextNoBr("<div style='border-top-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#808080; height:2px; width:100%;'></div>")
msg ("test4")

Set the color to whatever you wish.
You can also do this (for whatever you like):

game.separator = "<div style='border-top-style:dashed; border-width:1px; border-color:#808080; height:2px; width:100%;'></div>"
OutputTextNoBr("{game.separator}")

Saves typing it everywhere...

Sorry, I just realized your issue was more one of order. I would have to see what you did to know how to change it.

Not working, the problem seems to be the script "print line no break" because it sends the line under the command we type instead of under the object list, for some reason.

That doesn't happen with the print message. So, I tried your code with that and works but there is still some space under the line, I reduce the height to 0 but it still there. Maybe, its the customized fixed panel that i have.

The only thing that works is writting the line by hand _____ but for some reason become dashed ----- and we can meassure to fit the screen if it changes we have to change the line

Thanks for the efort Jay, as usual!
