Longer input possible?

    Loving the plugin, the only thing I’m having trouble with is “Enter each term below on its own line.” My descriptions are long so my lines are wrapping. Though I’m not adding a line break, the wrap is determining the cutoff for what gets included. Is there a file I can edit to allow more characters per line (or to prevent the word wrap from deciding where my info ends)?

    Thanks,
    Flo

    Hi Flo! I just released an update for the plugin that removes the line wrap.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    ZOMG, Nate, you are my hero! I have over 350 tags to create, with all their accompanying descriptions – you have no idea how much I’ve been dreading the prospect.

    The update works great, but I have one last question to bug you with (and I may be asking too much, so no worries if it’s not possible). I have commas in my descriptions and they cut off my info early like the wordwrap did. Is there an escape character I can use with them so they’ll be accepted as text?

    Ok, I updated the plugin to allow escaped commas. So you would just need to type a backslash before the comma to include it in your description.

    For example:

    United States, united_states, Currently\, population is 317 Million

    ZOMG! You, sir, are amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have saved me, oh…literally thousands of keystrokes. I cannot thank you enough. But here’s another for good measure: THANK YOU! ??

    Nate, only the first backslash (\) is functioning to escape commas. Subsequent commas in a single term description are not being escaped. The line for that term terminates at the second comma. Is there a resolution for this you can suggest?

    Here’s one sample line of my terms to add:
    CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.1.1: First Grade - Text Types and Purposes,ccss-ela-literacy-w-1-1,Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or name the book they are writing about\, state an opinion\, supply a reason for the opinion\, and provide some sense of closure.

    This line correctly inserts “CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.1.1: First Grade – Text Types and Purposes” as the term, “ccss-ela-literacy-w-1-1” as the slug, but the description is added to the db as “Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or name the book they are writing about\, state an opinion\”.
