Seam Text

[tony.herstell1]

entity_user_password_hint=password *must* be between 5 and 15 letters\/numbers long and be one word.

1. letters\/numbers: is supposed to be escaped so this it comes out as letters/numbers when pushed out as formatted text... but it doesn't. Am I dont something wrong?

2. Can we have a special cahracter that gets translated into a newline? as you can see I am using messages.properties to hold my text and I want a multi line message but we cant do that using seamtext easilly.

Cheers.

Aha... for 1 I get this int eh server log:

11:36:18,687 ERROR [STDERR] line 1:74: expecting SLASH, found '?'

[tony.herstell1]

for NO.2. I nearly cracked it:

entity_user_email_hint=#a valid email where you wish to be contacted. #This will be used as your username. #Your email will be used to keep in touch with you by the on-line booking and events management capabilities of this site. #This will *not* be shown on the site.

I get the startings of a list rendered but then it goes wrong and I get this in the server log:

12:25:28,656 ERROR [STDERR] line 1:48: unexpected token: #
12:25:28,656 ERROR [STDERR] line 1:49: unexpected token: This
12:25:28,656 ERROR [STDERR] line 1:85: unexpected token: #
12:25:28,656 ERROR [STDERR] line 1:208: unexpected token: #

pretty much the same problem for "=" (unordered list) as well... has it been another character for a list this hack would have worked.

Darn... almost!

No.2.

DOH!
Sing the muppet song!

entity_user_email_hint=<br/>a valid email where you wish to be contacted. <br/>This will be used as your username. <br/>Your email will be used to keep in touch with you by the on-line booking and events management capabilities of this site. <br/>This will *not* be shown on the site.

Use 's!

letters\/numbers works for me, what gets rendered when you try it?

Is your text being read from a properties file for inl8 messages.. I think it's not a problem with Seam but rather cus I am using the java properties mechanism (via seam via FSF messages!)...

e.g.

<s:formattedText value="#{messages.captcha_hint}" />

If there is a way to push it just father than anyone imaged then I will find it ;)

I was trying to add it into the edit.xhtml for ease (as every output field uses it) but can't ..

 <span class="edit_template_hint_area">
 <ui:insert name="hint"/>
 </span>

you can't do this:

 <span class="edit_template_hint_area">
 <s:formattedText>
 <ui:insert name="hint"/>
 </s:formattedText>
 </span>

Bummer!
