URL in Web Catalogue has Trailing space

Post by Bhikkhu Pesala »

I modified fontitem.htf to add a hyperlink to fonts with a particular tag. This used to work OK for Colour fonts, which would redirect to the YouTube video.

However, when I try the same trick to add a link to my free font downloads, a trailing space character %20 is added to the URL, which just gives a Site under construction message. What did I do wrong or has something recently changed in MainType?
<div class="fontitem">
<div class="paneleft">
<a name="{WEB_EXPORT_FONT_ID}"></a>
<h3 class="fontname"><img title="{FONT_TYPE}" src="{FONT_TYPE_REL}" alt="{FONT_TYPE}" style="border: 0px solid ; width: 16px; height: 16px;" /> {FONT_NAME}</h3>
</div>
<div class="paneright"><a href=http://www.softerviews.org/Fonts.html" title="Download Free OpenType Fonts"">{FONT_TAGS}</a> {FONT_GROUPS}
</div>
<img title="{FONT_NAME}" src="{FONT_PREVIEW_REL}" alt="{FONT_NAME}" style="border: 0px solid ; width: {FONT_PREVIEW_WIDTH}px; height: {FONT_PREVIEW_HEIGHT}px;" />
</div>
This is how it now looks when I publish the catalogue again to my local drive:

I think this line contains quotation marks in the wrong place:

<a href=http://www.softerviews.org/Fonts.html" title="Download Free OpenType Fonts"">

Should be:

<a href="http://www.softerviews.org/Fonts.html" title="Download Free OpenType Fonts">

Thanks for your quick reply. So easy when you can read code.

Now fixed and ready to update the catalogue for WebPlus X8, which was released today. :)
