Hi everyone :)
I'm not able to keep up with the list, and I have missed it. I hope
all is well with you. :)
I have created Clippings to fill in the top and bottom parts of PO
(gettext [1]) file headers. For example, the basic top header for me is:
___
# Vietnamese translation for NAME.
# Copyright © #LOCALTIME %Y Free Software Foundation, Inc.
# Clytie Siddall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, #LOCALTIME %Y.
#
msgid ""
msgstr ""
___
This worked fine until I inserted the date/time placeholders. (I was
getting sick of changing the year on all these clippings each time
another year came around. ;) )
The placeholders supply the year, as asked, but somehow my hash signs
also get eaten. Inserting that clipping actually gives me:
___
# Vietnamese translation for NAME.
# Copyright © 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Clytie Siddall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 2008.
msgid ""
msgstr ""
___
The clipping has made off with two initial hash signs, which I need
back. Is the clipping identifying the next hash sign it encounters as
part of its instructions? I have tried escaping the following hash
signs, but with no success.
This is probably very simple, but I can't seem to find the answer to
it in the Clippings Reference or in my muddled mind.
Thankyou for any help you can offer. :)
