Briefing Error Check

[PTW-105 10]

Hello,

I have a briefing.sqf for a mission I'm making. I have the briefing.sqf being called in the init.sqf file. I also created an empty briefing.html file in the mission folder, as was recommended here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?124786-Briefing-not-working

When I run the mission, I get the error:

'...t up and board either the <marker name="|#|fa18f">joint trainer</marker> or separat...'

Error missing ]

File C:\Users\Josh\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\PTW-105\mpmissions\F%2fA-18%20Training%20Mission.Altis\briefing.sqf,

line 12

Line 12 is:

player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Mission", "1. Suit up and board either the <marker name="fa18f">joint trainer</marker> or separate <marker name="fa18e">single-seat trainers</marker><br /><br />2. Select your loadout through the Service Menu<br /><br />3. Taxi to runway 04 and prepare for take-off.  Be sure to exhibit proper ground speed and illumination procedures while taxiing.<br /><br />4. Take off and gain familiarity with the aircraft flight characteristics<br /><br />5.

(Optional) Return to <marker name="airfield">base</marker> to rearm, repair, and refuel"]];

Here is the complete briefing.sqf:

player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Signal", "You'll be hitting tarmac just after sundown.  There will be little ambient light that is sure to fade quickly.  Make the best of what you have.<br /><br />Being dark and all, you'll want to be sure to observe proper illumination procedures.  This means anti-collision and standard lights activated while on the ground.  Anti-collision and formation lights should be activated in the air.  Keep those runway lights off when engaging targets but on when you are taking off or landing.  Planes like these are mighty hard to see with no illumination.<br /><br />I guess the good thing about these night ops is that if you decide to ground your airframe, we'll see it for miles.  Godspeed out there."]];

Could I get another set of eyes to comb through my code.

Thanks,

The marker names will either need double double quotes. "" "" or use single quotes inside double quotes "' "'

[IndeedPete 1038]

Use either

<marker name=""mkrObj"">here</marker>

or

<marker name='mkrObj'>here</marker>

like shown in your own template:

player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Title 1", "We have an objective <marker name='mkrObj1'>here</marker> and one <marker name='mkrObj2'>there</marker>"]];

This fixed it. Thanks!
