HTML bug in Twine 2.0.7 (win32)?

Willy Elektrix · July 2015

I just updated to Twine version 2.0.7 from the previous version of Twine 2. However, doing so made some changes to the HTML tags in my passages. For instance...

In the previous version, I had a line reading: <h1>The End</h1>

Now it reads: <h1>The End</h1>

This happens to every single HTML tag in my story. I correct some of them, but when I exited Twine and then reopened it, the tags disappeared again. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

What story format/version? What OS/version and browser/version?

I'm using Harlowe 1.1. I am using Twine 2.0.7 (Win 32) in Windows XP.

This seems to be an issue with Twine 2.0.7.

Ugh. Well that is irritating news. Hopefully it will be repaired in short order.

Like I mentioned in that thread, I just did a find/replace-all which fixed the whole thing.

Oh what the heck, I didn't realize it kept happening.

That's super annoying, even though the find/replace does fix it.

Sharpe · July 2015

Mine does not repeatedly replace the '<' or '>' signs. Only once when I imported it. Dunno.

Lancillotto · July 2015

Same problem.
And yes, unfortunately it keeps happening.
The problem seems to be the <> characters: they turn into "& lt ;"

Hopefully it will be fixed in 2.0.8. I run Twine 64 on Linux Mint 17.1 and encounter the same problem. replacing all occurrences of them doesn't help since they will return when Twine is restarted. Closing passage and return to home screen doesn't cause this problem.

My story format is SugarCube by the way.

Willy Elektrix · July 2015

I'm in the same boat. If I correct them, they change back when I reopen Twine.

This bug seems to recur every time I open Twine 2.0.7 (win64) in Windows 8.0.

Yikes!

I believe I have this fixed, but before I release 2.0.8, I'd like to confirm that my fix is working for everyone else and is not causing any unexpected side effects. Please try one of these downloads and see if you your story text is garbled. I think you may need to do Sharpe's find/replace to fix the issue, but it should only need to be done once per story

I was having the same issue as reported above concerning "<" and ">" in storing being changed to something else and causing issues. I had done the find and replace and same results.

I downloaded the fix for OS X @klembot posted above. I opened my file in it and I did the find and replace once again. I closed the file and exited out of the program.

I opened twine and opened my story and I am glad to report that it stayed corrected. The issue has been resolved for me.

@klembot Win64 fixed it for me! Thank you

Hey, I am on a MAC and was having the same HTML issues as stated.

When I download 2.0.8 the Twine version # is 2.0.6 via the actual client. However, it does fix the HTML issue on MAC.

Thanks

With Linux 64 under Mint 17.1 and Firefox39... I installed the 2.0.8 and no more problems with the HTML bug.
Thanks a lot !

G_Lascelle · July 2015

All good on Win64, running Windows 8.1

Thanks for the quick fix

It would appear to be fixed for me as well.

Howdy, Stranger!
