such as "tenuki" in the diagram exceptions. Different specified texts
within one diagram are not supported yet. There are limitations for
mixing specified texts and passes.

First Move is Tenuki

Workaround: Alter the EXCEPTION_MOVE_MISSING procedure. Set
EXCEPTION_MOVE_IS_PASS =
{0} tenuki
Restart Gowrite. Represent the first move as a pass. (This does not
work if there are both tenukis and passes in one diagram.)

Successive Tenukis

Workaround: Alter the EXCEPTION_MOVE_MISSING procedure. Set
EXCEPTION_MOVE_IS_PASS =
{0} tenuki
Restart Gowrite. Represent the tenukis by passes. (This does not work
if there are both tenukis and passes in one diagram.)

Last Move is Tenuki

Workaround: Use the EXCEPTION_MOVE_MISSING procedure. After the tenuki
move, put a fake move elsewhere on the board. In the game tree, remove
the preceding tenuki move and go to the fake move elsewhere on the
board. Mark a board area not including the fake move elsewhere on the
board.

File

It is also possible to manually edit
C:\Users\<username>\.gowrite\translation_en_23_48.xml, then restart
Gowrite. (Other Gowrite versions can use other file names.)

Other Texts

Instead of "tenuki", you can write another text such as "elsewhere",
"ladder breaker", "ko threat", "ko-pass", "ko-pass for the ko K" etc.
Do not forget to write "{0} ".

Other languages

Instead of English (en), other languages can be abused, provided you
select them thrice.
