Currently the typewriter effect breaks when using richtext tags other than <b><i><u> and <color> because the regex in Tools.StripRichTextCodes doesn't strip them (so the subtitle panel skips characters cause it thinks there's more visible characters then there are). There is a wealth of other rich text tags here http://digitalnativestudios.com/textmes ... /rich-text that the regex could be expanded to strip.

I dunno if there's enough people using non standard richtext tags to warrant the fix, I am dynamically setting the margin to create a crude "chat effect" in rich text, but I thought it's worth suggesting.

Hi,

What rich text codes does the typewriter miss? If you're using the TextMeshProTypewriterEffect,, it should work with these codes, too:

<[Bb]>|</[Bb]>|<[Ii]>|</[Ii]>|<color=[#]?\w+>|<color=""\w+"">|</color>|
<align=\w+>|</align>|<font=[^>]+>|</font>|<indent=\w+\%>|<indent=\w+>|</indent>|
<line-height=\w+%>|<line-height=\w+>|</line-height>|<line-indent=\w+\%>|<line-ident=\w+>|</line-ident>|
<link=""[^""]+"">|</link>|<lowercase>|</lowercase>|<uppercase>|</uppercase>|"
<smallcaps>|</smallcaps>|<margin=.+>|</margin>|<mark=#\w+>|</mark>|
<nobr>|</nobr>|<size=\w+\%>|<size=\w+>|</size>|<sprite=.+>|<[Ss]>|</[Ss]>|<[Uu]>|</[Uu]>|
^||_|

Huh, mine only blocks <b>, <i>, <u> and <color>, maybe I have an outdated version then.

Actually even the current Regex there still misses a few (and would miss it in my case)

Replace <margin=.+> with <margin-?\w+=.+> to include margin-left, margin-right, etc.

Hi,

Please try this patch:

DS_TMProPatch_2022-04-05.unitypackage

It includes the latest TextMeshProTypewriterEffect and Tools script that uses an updated regex to support extra <margin-...> syntaxes.

Back up your project first to be safe. It should work with any relatively recent version of the Dialogue System, though.

Thank you!

Glad to help! Thanks for letting me know about the missing regex for that tag.
