H.1 RAW Format ¶

RAW format is similar to TEXT format with several exceptions.

First, RAW format includes the embedded tags of TAGS format. Second, RAW format is not "line-wrapped". Lines in RAW format may be longer than 80 characters. Third, the RAW format uses the tilde character (~) to indicate a non-breaking space. Finally, each line in RAW format starts with a header. The format of the header is:

<unit identifier>:<indent>/<secondary indent>:<day>:<line>

<unit identifier>

The unit which produced this line of output. Currently the unit identifier is only used in the garrison log.

<indent>

The number of spaces to indent this line when displaying it in TEXT format.

<secondary indent>

The number of spaces to indent any continuation lines if this line must be "wrapped".

<day>

The day of the month for this line of output.

Here is a (contrived) example of a line of RAW format output:

:0/3:17:Eristan Guardenriver~[n6l], Imperial Empire, duke, with five~workers, eight~sailors, arrived from [x1x] Imperial Plains.

and here is how it might be rendered in TEXT format:

17: Eristan Guardenriver [n6l], Imperial Empire, duke, with, five workers,
17:   eight sailors, arrived from [x1x] Imperial Plains.
