Subject: Re: When PGN goes wrong? My list of the 18 most common PGN sins

Go up one level in this thread


Let me add 2 more:

1)
i here have one application that seperates multiple variations of the same level
like this: ( ... ; ... )  My app get's confused because the semicolon (;) is for
end of line comments. I use ( ... ) ( ... ), but i am not sure if this is
correct, because the PGN standard doesn't even mention it! By the way: This app
refuses to parse my PGN because "returns are not in Mac format!".

2)
PGN standard says comments and text in the PGN tags should be in "ECMA-94" text
encoding. Nowhere in the net i can find that standard. I use ISO Latin 1
instead, but every other app i tried imports comments as MacRoman.
