Anyway, sometimes you can't plan that much ahead and you have to get back to the drawing board and waste few hours to re-work things. I will have to figure out a quick way to change a snippet to a tag without pain and suffering. I am excited. The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back. |

I don’t think there is any easy way to do that through the interface. However I think it should be possible to make an export, use a converter tool, and then reimport with snippets that are text converted to tags

Any specific converter tool? Or we are talking theoretically?

You said you were a scripter. Such a tool does not currently exist

An export of your topics/articles and then using an online XML to CSV converter might work for you.
I don't think this is true. Farling Author of the Realm Works Import tool, Realm Works Output tool and Realm Works to Foundry module Donations gratefully received via Patreon, Ko-Fi or Paypal |

I suspect Vargr was saying that most of the programming Vargr has done recently is VBA, not that VBA is what most programmers are doing. (The context was an answer to "Are you a computer pro, Vargr?" not anything about the industry.)

@Parody:
You are right; I was referring to myself - as in "now-a-days I do most of my programming in VBA" (Excel, to be exact). It would be scary indeed if all the software out there was done in VBA... Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |

Maybe, but for VBA (not VB, not VBScript, not VB.Net or .Net in general, but VBA) to be dominant it would require an alternate history of the industry branching back in the Windows 9x days. Microsoft would have had to force scriptability on applications and make it much easier and cheaper to implement than the VBA libraries they offered at the time. Even then, I don't see how it'd beat out HTML/CSS/JavaScript. (You might have VBScript instead of JavaScript in this alternate history, I suppose.)
Current Microsoft wants everyone to use .Net languages and Azure services for their web applications and has been fumbling on consumer devices since Windows 8. The recent direction of going back to other architectures with a revamped shell, emulated Win32 on non-x86 devices, and similar may work if they stick with it, though I think it doesn't bode well for desktop users. (It's not always fun being the niche.) |
