[text define] - document known editor issues with escaped `,`/`;` #222

Open ben-wes opened 3 months ago

ben-wes commented 3 months ago

the editor of [text define] can't correctly handle input with escaped , and ;.

this caused me to create https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/2354 - assuming that the data itself was falsely interpreted. that's not the case though luckily (it's "only" and error in the editor, not the data).

imho, it would be good to add this information to the help of [text define] as "known issue".

there is an issue addressing this: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1951 ... but while this is not solved yet, it might help other users to have it documented.

some parts of the slightly irritating [text] editor behaviour are also described here: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1262#issuecomment-776297842

isn't it related to https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1600 ?

porres commented 3 months ago

anyway, I think it makes better sense to work on fixing bugs rather than document them

another related issue? (I knew I reported something about this) https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1075
