I'm playing with the current.inc display for a page and with some help
years ago from one of the leaders here, got the 6th line shown below to
display the change in temp from 24 hours ago. Running under 4.7.0, I
was able to place a little 'delta' sign in front of the (
$trend(time_delta....... which I thought looked sort of nice. I recall
trying to enter it with the Alt-xxx key but apparently the RaspOS didn't
like that and Tom, I believe, told me to just find a symbol somewhere
and paste it in position. That did the trick. Now I have my 5.2 running
and moved this line over to the new current.inc code and the delta
disappeared. I tried several copy and pastes, all from on-line
collections of symbols and it just leaves a blank.
Is there some way to recover my little delta sign? Are some editors in
RaspOS better than others?
Secondly, the new way of building an observation list and then stepping
through it means that if I want to add the Rainfall Yesterday and the
time and interval of the last rain the the final portion of the code
below, I have to tack it on to the #elif $x == 'rain' segment. That is
perfect and make sense to me. My question is, why do some of the HTML
class-"label"> statements use $gettext("Rain Today") while other
segments use <td class="label">$obs.label.wind for example. They seem
to do the same thing. Is one more preferable than the other? The
$obs.label seems to work just fine and the $gettext is in the newer code
but I don't see it in the 4.7 (ancient, I know but it works!)
Maybe there is no simple explanation but wondered if one is better than
the other?
