Lines starting with the dash "-" character in TEMPLATE are treated as comments. Up until now, lines that started with a dash were always discarded before being parsed in Daggerfall Unity. I'm changing this behaviour slightly in next builds. Here are the new rules.
When in neither QRC or QBN: All lines starting with a dash are skipped always.
In QRC: All lines starting with a dash are skipped outside of a text block
In QRC: All lines starting with a dash are accepted inside of a text block.
In QBN: All lines starting with a dash are skipped always.
The short version is that you can now use the dash "-" in text blocks. Everywhere else its the same as before.
This fixes an issue where the dash character is used at start of a line in text blocks (e.g. signing off a letter) and should be accepted as part of the quest text.
Also note that QRC blocks must always end with an empty line. A comment directly at end of a text block, without an empty line above it, will now be treated as part of text block. For example:
QuestorOffer: [1000]
<ce> Howdy, %pcf. If you got a few days free,
<ce> a job just came in for some giant-killin', and
<ce> I thought of you. Interested?
-this will be included in text block
QuestorOffer: [1000]
<ce> Howdy, %pcf. If you got a few days free,
<ce> a job just came in for some giant-killin', and
<ce> I thought of you. Interested?
-this will be ignored as a comment
