| It is designed to do that so that the HTML code looks like what you saw on the screen.
A workaround would be to do the logging yourself with a bit of mucking around with style runs, etc.
Alternatively, I suppose you would like a flag? |

Yes, I think there should be an option for making it not insert hard line breaks.
When hard line breaks are inserted, it becomes difficult to edit the log afterwards e.g. to filter out certain lines. | | Top |

| Isn't it hard anyway, because of all the <font> stuff when colours change?
Can't you just edit the log file, and replace all "<br>" with ""? |

Actually, because my MUSH color-codes messages (e.g. pages are magenta, says are green), I can use "grep" or "grep -v" to filter out all of one type of message, etc. which I couldn't do if I logged in text format (which doesn't wreck the line breaks, but doesn't preserve the ANSI color, unless that has changed since 3.17).

There is no "<br>" in the logfile; line breaks are "\n" (which works while inside "<pre>"). The problem is that the HTML log doesn't distinguish between a hard line break and a soft line break, so there's no way for me to undo it by post-processing:
<font color="#FFFFFF">[Maison Yuriba] Lyra's Bed</font><font color="#C0C0C0">(#1977ae)</font>
<font color="#008080">It's a big, comfy bed with a thick mattress. The sheets covering it are a </font>
<font color="#008080">gentle cream color and are filled with dawn. There are several purple and white </font>
<font color="#008080">pillows near the head and the bed is easily big enough to accomodate two.</font>
<font color="#008080">On the side, there's a small lamp post on top of a flat, hardwood drawer. Next </font>
<font color="#008080">to the lamp, there's a small pen and a notepad.</font>
<font color="#C0C0C0">Players: Objects:</font>
<font color="#808000">Merin</font><font color="#C0C0C0">(#187PwerAC) </font><font color="#800080">Maison Map</font><font color="#C0C0C0">(#4481n) </font>
<font color="#808000">Amy</font><font color="#C0C0C0">(#565PwerACM) </font>
<font color="#808000">Yuriko</font><font color="#C0C0C0">(#106PWweACM) </font>
The above is an excerpt from an HTML log. Notice that the soft "\n" separating each line of the room description is indistinguishable from the "\n" where there really are hard line breaks. | | Top |
