My HTML-insert editor button doesn't work

[Aidan Grey]

Heya,

I'm trying to create an editor toolbar button that will add some predefined html/css text, and it's not working quite right. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. 

The code:

<$action-sendmessage

$message="tm-edit-text-operation"

$param="replace-selection"

text="<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="ylw"></span>

<span class="wht"></span>

<span class="ylw"></span>"

/>

In the image attached, you'll see that I also tried escaping characters, but I still have the same issue - all of the contents of the tiddler appear IN the button. Further, it doesn't do anything. If I click that mess of a button, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Aidan

And yes, I have tiddlers for the classes that work fine if I type them in manually.

And example of one tiddler, tagged $:/tags/Stylesheet:

.blk {
	height: 20px;  
	width: 20px; 
	border-style: solid;  
	background-color: black;
	border-radius: 50%;  
	border-width: thin;
	border-color: black;  
	display: inline-block;
}

In your text operation the " are miss balanced. Try replacing the outer " with a """ html here can "use" single quotes """

Or ' vs " etc..

Yeah, what Tony sez;

<$action-sendmessage

$message="tm-edit-text-operation"

$param="replace-selection"

text="""<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="blk"></span>

<span class="ylw"></span>

<span class="wht"></span>

<span class="ylw"></span>"""

/>

You guys are teh awesumz!! That did it! Thanks!

So why does there need to be three? Is it one of those escape character sort of things? With Double quotes escaping to a single quote?

In some ways it is just the necessary standards to make it work, and is common on many systems.

See https://tiddlywiki.com/#HTML%20in%20WikiText attributes 

Literal Attribute Values

None (if no whitespace), ', " then """ work, no "" available.

"works 'like this' or" 

'works "like this" or'

etc...

Regards

Tony
