Formatting issue

[francisbegbie]

Version: 3.2.1-fdroid
Android: 11 (RQ3A.211001.001)

The regular format (Quote -> blank line -> Author -> blank line -> Count) is not adhered to whenever the widget displays quotes from 'Top Quotes'. As seen in the screenshot, the format changes to Quote -> Dash -> Author (on the same line) -> blank line -> Count.

Note: Setting is Configuration / Quotations / All. The above issue is encountered only when the app randomly picks quote from within 'Top Quotes'. No issue with other quotes.

Hi - thanks for raising this issue and supplying the screenshots.

This is the case with quotes taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/quotes/ - /r/quotes/top

Basically I queried reddit's API - using python's praw library - for the top 1000 quotes. What comes back is a mess - excluding about 400 duplicates within the 1000 - the actual content doesn't split quotation from source.

If I had time I could manually do the split - but at the moment I haven't.

If someone else mentions or comments on this issue then I'll find time sooner rather than later. For the moment I'll keep this issue, open, under Enhancements in https://github.com/jameshnsears/QuoteUnquote/projects/1

I know this would be time consuming if done manually. Not urgent, just wanted to bring to your attention.

One of the many things I like about this app is that I can click on the authors name to get a Wikipedia page about them. Unfortunately this is currently only possible if I select all or a specific author and not possible if I use "/r/quotes/top". Any chance of parsing the individual authors that appear here and adding the wikipedia link to it?

Pushed a solution to this to Google Play and F-Droid. The Source is still called /r/quotes/top but if it's underlined it takes you to the relevant wikipedia article.

Thank you James.
