Issues with Wiki formatting implementation

As we know, since several versions now, Skype converts the following pre- and postfixes to formatted text:
*test*: Bold text
_test_: Italic text
~test~: Strikethrough text
However, there are some issues with the way this is implemented, which I try to lay out here.
When editing a message containing formatted text, the formatting is lost, and plain text copied into the chat input textbox where you will edit the message. This can be really annoying if you want to fix just a typo in a formatted message.
E.g.: "*This is* a test _to demonstrate_ a ~Skype~ bug" converts into simply "This is a test to demonstrate a Skype bug" into the input textbox.
Formatting has to be added back manually, and can be a time-eating task if you wrote longer messages.
Copying formatted messages also loses the text formatting, especially when pasting them into plain text files. Skype should restore the post- and prefixes.
E.g., copying this: "This is a test to demonstrate a Skype bug" should paste into a plain text file as "*This is* a test _to demonstrate_ a ~Skype~ bug", but currently it pastes just as "This is a test to demonstrate a Skype bug"
It should be possible to turn formatting off, like smileys. Already formatted messages are then parsed back to include post- and prefixes for display. Currently, there are solutions to disable this for messages sent by the local user, but it is not remembered between sessions, and does not affect remote users (you can try it by entering "/setupkey *Lib/Conversation/EnableWiki 0" in the chat).
Such an option should obviously be placed in the "IM & SMS > IM Appearance" category.
It would be great if you can sort out these usability issues, as it makes Skype somewhat cocky regarding the handling of the wiki formatting.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The first two issues (which are directly related) are already known to be issues with their current implementation of formatting.  It's hard to say when those issues will be addressed.  In regards to your 3rd point, that has already been addressed so that you can make that change via that command and have is stick.  Since they actually addressed the command issue and did not make it a GUI option they apparently don't want a GUI option at this time.
I issued that command, exited Skype, relaunched Skype then tested out bold formatting.  Neither I nor my other contact (my test account) received any formatting unless I reversed that setting.  Make sure you are running the latest version of Skype (7.3).

  • CSV to Excel 2013 - Issue with number format

    Hi,
    I use Excel 2013 to manipulate CSV files. I experienced issue with number format cells. In my CSV file there is one column that presents latitude values in format: 52.05456464. When I open my CSV file in Excel 2013 all values in that column get separator
    ".", in this case my number is present like this: 52.054.454.464. I tried to change my cell format, and when opened the category was Number, I change it to the General but in that case I lost all "." and got 52054454464.
    I also tried to open same file on other machine with Excel 2010 and file is opened correctly without issues and in cell format the category is general by default.
    I hope that there is some kind of resolution for this.

    Hi
    According to your description, we may follow these steps:
    highlight the column B > Home Tab > Number section > Select Number and choose "More Number Format" > Make sure the Negative number is chosen correctly. If you are using Custom format, we will have to change it.
    Hope it helps

  • Issue with Date Format

    Hi All,
    I m facing an issue with Date format in the prompt. I have used date presentation variables in my column formula as shown below:
    FILTER("SKU Order Details"."Fulfilled Quantity" USING Time."Calendar Date" <= DATE '@{todate}{2900-01-01}')
    The report returns data when I don't select any date range for start & end date prompts on the page. But when I select the start & end date values in the prompt, I m getting the following error:

    I included the following formulas for start & end date prompts:
    Start Date prompt: case when 1=2 then License."Ips Creation Date" else cast ('1.1.1900' as date) end
    End Date prompt: case when 1=2 then License."Ips Creation Date" else cast ('1.1.2900' as date) end
    Can you please help me resolve the issue.

    Hi Nico,
    I tried putting the format that you mentioned, I m getting an error message.
    My prompts have the following formula :

    End: case when 1=2 then Time."Calendar Date" else cast('1.1.2900' as DATE) end
    My column formula has the following syntax:

    Hello everyone! My FIRST post here!!!
    I work with educational games and I'm facing performance issues with games that I've made in HTML5 to play in Ipad. I tried to import them to the format folio in DPS (Adobe Digital Publishing Suite). However when I import the HTML game into Indesign and try to preview it in Adobe content viewer, the game doesn't open or works without perform properly (there is a lag that doesn't let you play the game with a little of fun).

  • Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

    I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers

    Hi Gavin,
    If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
    if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
    UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
    then
    -- insert your HTML code in the value
    -- of your field. something like...
    newValue := '<B>' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '</B>
    srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
    else
    -- when generating to other format,
    -- you'd have to add the formatting as
    -- you want.
    end if
    return( true );
    Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
    Good luck... :-)

  • Issue with Date format - ABAP to XML

    Dear Users,
    We are currently facing an issue with the date formats in XML.
    We have a system (.Net), which has a webservice that we are calling for information from SAP. We created a Proxy class in SAP from the WSDL file and have attempted to use the method that gets us required information based on the Timestamp passed from SAP. However, the timestamp that the INPUT structure uses has a data element XSDDATETIME_Z.
    All we can send from SAP is a simple TIMESTAMP, but the .Net system doesn't accept it since it wants the timestamp in XML format i.e. <dd-mm-yyyy>T<hh:mm:ss>Z. SAP documentation says that the field should automatically do conversion from ABAP to XML format, but that doesn't happen. We don't want to build a string from Timestamp in the XML format and send it out since we might surely miss out on the different cases involved.
    Can anyone please suggest a way for us to send the date out in the required XML format?
    Many thanks!

    Hi Vijay,
    Look at the below sample code and it works fine, i guess there is something wrong in your code or conversion, post the actual code if you are still not able figure it out with the below example.

    CALL FUNCTION 'CACS_DATE_GET_TIMESTAMP'

  • Issue with character formats using duplex printing in smartform

    Hi all,
    I am getting a problem with character formats using duplex printing in smartform. I am using a text module with a bold character to display text in a window. The problem is that on the first back page,the text is being printed normally (without bold), but on the next pages, the back pages are being printed with the bold character format.
    Can anyone know where is the problem..please.
    Points to be rewarded..
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Zaheed.

    Hi Zaheed,
    Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
    If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
         1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
             two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
             each..
          2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
              format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
    Try this out and let us know your findings...
    Enjoy SAP.

  • OS X Server + Active Directory Authentication Issue with Wikis

    Hello,
    I recently purchased an Apple XServe with Snow Leopard installed. The purpose of this server is to enable students and teachers to create Wikis and Blogs.
    The majority of my environment is MS, with Active Directory as our LDAP provider.
    I have joined the server to my domain and can add domain accounts to the Wiki creation access list without issue, but whenever I try to login to the server's web interface with one of those accounts the login screen shakes and prompts for another set of credinitals.
    What am I doing wrong? Open Directory seems to be setup properly and has been kerberitized as it requested when I joined the box to the domain.

  • Issue with conditional formatting in XML publisher report

    Hi All,
    I am working on a XML report where in I am required to use conditional formatting to highlight changes, if there is change in any of the column value. The condition is required to be implemented on a text column as well as a number column. I have tried to use the conditional formatting available in the BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.2, wherein I have compared the two columns, and when they are not equal to, then formatting should change to red color; but the same is not working in the excel output.
    Can anybody help here?

    Hi,
    Basically you are trying to convert a date into date which is not advisable. Hence convert it to char and then equate it against a character value. Also do not use trunc as it will trim out the time part of the date.
    select * from test
               where to_char(dob,'RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')=:p1Then pass the parameter

    hi
    what i believe is the problem with your date profile
    to make the time as user time zone ,you need to make following settings
    Customer Relationship Management--->Basic Functions--->Date Management---->Define Date Profile
    Here for a Date Profile, u need to create the reference object adn then assign this object to your date type
    the date profile works in following way ,first we have to create our date type and assign the date rule to it and then assign this date type to the date profile
    so in similar way u need to first do changes in the refernce object ,which will be user user time zone in time
    and then assign it to the date profile
    Also after this just check inside the T code ZTAC
    hope it will end ur probs
    best regards

    1) Through a function I am listing all the months in a year.
    like JAN-2007, FEB-2007,MAR-2007......
    2) i am comparing these values against a date value column in a table.
    And if there are no values in a particular period it will return a null value (simply to say, i am using an outer join)
    3) The issue.....
    When join both the queries then the order of the dates is not mainted .....
    My requirement is......
    Jan-2007 = 3
    Feb-2007 = 5
    Mar-2007 = null
    etc.....
    should be acheived.
    But I end up in the alphabetical order of the months....
    like
    Apr-2007 = 5
    Aug-2007 = 10
    etc.....
    Can anybody let me know how can i acheive my resultant output to be ordered by the date and not by character.
    When I use the date column in the order by I run into an error....
