Documentation for AbstractSpoon's ToDoList.

Introduction to bpsToDoListDocumentation

Here is documentation for AbstractSpoon's ToDoList which can be opened within ToDoList itself.

Note: Starting with version 5 of ToDoList, .dan.g is distributing a version of this help file with the executable.

Information to build this file was taken from:

  • Source code resource files from version 4.x.
  • Observation of versions 4.10 and 5.0 Beta.
  • The pbwiki referenced in the documentation.

It is recommended that you do not use the Sort functions on this file. An attempt has been made to keep the menus and preferences in order as shown in the ToDoList Graphical User Interface.

I also have posted a sample XSL Transform for ToDoList which can be viewed on CodeProject.com.

Hi Dan:
I think you've "solved" this issue by having ToDoList strip out or otherwise ignore the Horizontal Ellipsis character.
That's fine.... but it probably is pointing to a larger issue which will some day need to be addressed.

I did some research:

1. The character that is troublesome is in fact present within the Character Set the XML declares: encoding="windows-1252"

2. The ellipsis character can be entered into the Task Title or Comments by holding down Alt while pressing 0 1 3 3 and releasing Alt.

3. The glyph presented on my screen is in fact an ellipsis. That is dot dot dot.

4. When the XML contains the ellipsis character, and the encoding is windows-1252, it is properly represented by the default stylesheet in Internet Explorer and Firefox.

5. If the XML declaration is ignored, (simulated by setting encoding="ISO-8859-1" then the ellipsis will NOT be represented as an ellipsis glyph.

6. Ellipsis can be within the XML as a character reference such as … or …

7. Regardless of the encoding attribute, the character reference appears to yield the proper glyph.

So... that's what I've learned. Perhaps it will be valuable to you.
If I had to guess what is going on, I would guess that when you setup the machine as a chinese setup... that the encoding of Windows-1252 isn't fully supported and the characters between 128 and 159 decimal might give you troubles. Just a guess.

I'm also going to email you a test file EllipsisTest.xml
