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.
