Invisible char #321

Closed Naramsim closed 3 years ago

Naramsim commented 3 years ago

Hello, I just discovered that there is an invisible character every second line in the file _pokemon_species_flavortext for each ability. It's always in between the columns ranging from 14 to 20.

The character is " ". Yes, it's in between the quotes. Here the ASCII representation:

Char Dec Hex Oct
12 0C 14

To find it you can just move the cursor from the beginning of the line to the end. An example is line 4.

Is it normal? Would you consider removing it? I can submit a PR is so.

That's a form feed character. Its purpose is to mark the break between pages in the dex entries in the first couple generations of games.

There's some previous discussion on https://github.com/veekun/pokedex/issues/218#issuecomment-339841781

Great, thanks for the quick reply! So it's actually a known and wanted behavior. Closing 😄
