Trouble Shooting Timeline (Simile)
Occasionally, the timeline would not load. In most cases,
it is the result of stray punctuation or other errors in the
history.xml file. In 2019-04, it was almost entirely
double-quotes in the caption field!
It can also be because of errors in the configuration scripts at
the beginning of the timeline.html file.
In 2019-12, the file had quotation marks in captions and an
amperstand in some titles! Took hours to fix!
- Quotation Marks in Captions! NOT allowed.
- What kind of errors? Tell me.
- An amperstand & in the title.
- End date earlier than start date (minor problem)
- A dash is okay in title.
- A comma is okay.
- Brackets () appear to be okay.
