Re: [chessx-developer] Text in angle brackets in comments is not displayed

[jens-chessx <jen...@gm...>]

We are correctly handling XML- and HTML-Tags, for example <i>Important move</i>.
But this is probably the problem - you have your own XML-Tags inside comments which should trigger different behaviour.
For my understanding: what is the idea of embedding CQL into a comment? Should ChessX trigger a CQL-Query once it finds such a comment, for example, when displaying a move with a CQL-command, display a button which executes the command?
I can’t see any samples on the Heidjen study database - what tags is Heidjen using and which intention does this database have with XML?
BTW: the comment editor below the board shows the <thisshoulddisplay> tag, only the game browser does not show it.
We are currently redesigning the game browser, so changes might be coming!

For example, the Heijden study database, a collection of 85000 endgame studies in PGN, relies extensively on such comments for annotations. See http://hhdbv.nl/ <http://hhdbv.nl/> . Some CQL examples use these tags as well, http://www.gadycosteff.com/cql <http://www.gadycosteff.com/cql> .
