Letter verification for creating Spiral puzzles doesn't handle newlines properly #5

Closed Nathan-tortoise closed 3 years ago

Nathan-tortoise commented 3 years ago

When creating a Spiral puzzle, if the answers in either direction are entered separated by newlines, attempting to generate the JPZ gives Error generating JPZ: Inward answer letters must be the outward answer letters in reverse. For example, try creating a spiral puzzle with

PEEL SPEED

as Inward entries and

DEEP SLEEP

as outward entries, and you will get this error. Replacing the newline characters with spaces yields a valid JPZ. Since the help text says In sequential order, separated by whitespace. newlines should be valid separators.

Thanks so much for the report, and sorry for the trouble! Glad you were able to find a way to move forward despite the bug.

All of the forms which specified "separated by whitespace" should now handle any whitespace as a separator, not just regular spaces. Please let me know if you run into any further issues.
