Copied from my gophersite, some tips for writing mapfiles which every (as far as I've tried) client can successfully read: * Some clients get confused about empty lines. If you want an empty line, make it a blank "i" line. * On that topic, some clients are picky about "i" lines, make sure that you have *3* tabs at the end so that all the "fields" are correctly there. * On that topic even more: some clients ignore "i" lines completely, don't make your content dependent on it. Especially try to make sure that there's at least one link per screenful of text because this breaks some weird gopher clients. * There's no spacing at all between the type and the pretty name. The correct way to start a textfile is just "0this is my name" * Make sure your editor isn't expanding tabs. You need real tabs. As in ^I. |
