However, it also ignores Carriage Returns too which is a bug. You will notice this problem in long blocks of text such as the 'Plot' or particularly the 'Plot Synopsis', 'Goofs' and other data fields which need to display as separate paragraphs to be readable. To show this problem switch to demo database, select the movie 'Sherlock Holmes' and edit. Make the plot blank and change the script used to 'IMDB.COM (Complete).txt|' and update. This movie will now have a movie plot and a long movie synopsis. The carriage returns display properly in the MovieCard but not in an 'My Collection in HTML' (HTML export). What you'll get is one really long unreadable paragraph that looks like: blah blah blah blah Plot blah blah blah Movie Synopsis:------------------ blah blah blah Movie Synopsis blah blah blah You can manually add [b]<BR>[/b] HTML commands directly in the plot description to add Carriage Returns yourself, but I have too many movies in the database to adjust them all. One related problem is since both the 'Plot' and 'Plot Synopsis' share the same actual text field is there a way for a MagicScript such as 'IMDB.COM (Complete).txt|' to add a plot synopsis without first erasing the plot too? The scripts are generally designed to add data only when the field is blank. I usually modify the plot description manually so I don't want to lose these changes by replacing data. The solution might be a new script that only adds plot synopsis such as 'IMDB.COM (Plot Synopsis)' or 'WIKIPEDIA.ORG (Plot Synopsis)' However I don't anything about writing MagicScripts myself.
