How can I include the EOLN in a conditional formatting

[DavidThielen]

Hi all;

I have the following as part of my text for SmartFormat:

When: {Event.StartDateTime:M} {Event.StartDateTime:t} - {Event.EndDateTime:t}.

{Event.ShowAddress:cond:Where: {Event.Address}|}

{Event.ShowRemote:cond:{Event.Zoom.Description}: {Event.Zoom.Url}|}

Again, thank you for stepping up to help. This is how we win.

I also tried:

When: {Event.StartDateTime:M} {Event.StartDateTime:t} - {Event.EndDateTime:t}.

{Event.ShowAddress:cond:Where: {Event.Address}
|}
{Event.ShowRemote:cond:{Event.Zoom.Description}: {Event.Zoom.Url}
|}
Again, thank you for stepping up to help. This is how we win.

It does great on the cond only showing the line if ShowAddress is true. But if ShowAddress is false, I get 2 blank lines. And I want the lines spread out, with a blank line between each, if both conditions are true.

How can I accomplish this?

thanks - dave

ps - this is a really useful library.

Hi, currently I'm on vacation and limited to a mobile device.
I read EOLN as the carriage-return character. You can use it in the format string by using the \n text literal.

But in your code, the the blank lines come from the new lines outside of the placeholders. Put them in one line and use the \n as a text literal for a blank line.

Hope this helps.

Without a working code sample it's a bit difficult to give a precise answer. What I mean is to put both placeholders on 1 line, and add then \n literal in those cases where you need it:

{Event.ShowAddress:cond:Where: {Event.Address}\n|}{Event.ShowRemote:cond:{Event.Zoom.Description}: {Event.Zoom.Url}\n|}
