This should document some things about implementing a client
There are a couple of assumptions the client needs to make.
- the Collection row in entryInfo is for tags, separated by
\x1F(ASCII Unit) Example (|represents ASCII unit):each tag has exactly one ASCII Unit on either side of it.|tag1||tag2||tag3| - The Notes section part of userViewingInfo can be in any format, the web client supports HTML and phpbb like syntax.
A client MAY choose to display notes, and if notes are displayed:
the client MUST implement phpbb like syntax for the following tags:
[b]bold[/b][i]italic[/i][u]underline[/u][spoiler]spoiler[/spoiler][item=<id>]preview text[/item](should link to an item with that id, client can handle this however it wants)[hl]text[/hl]should highlight the text in a client-defined way In addition a new line must be rendered as a new line (no whitespace collapsing), starting and ending whitespace in the note itself, and within tags may be removed. Any invalid tags should be rendered as plain text, eg[invalid]text[/invalid]->text.
- The UserRating can be anything the user desires, it could be a scale of 1-10, it could be a non-linear scale, it's up to the user. However the client may enforce a certain rating scale, The web client enforces my rating scale, of a non-linear scale where 80 is average
Besides these assumptions, the client can do whatever it wants.
