There is also a formatting error on p 127 such that the list of available brake tokens is incomplete or unreadable.

Thanks, guys.

I've added these points to my To Do list and hope to get round to them soon.

I Confirm: the table ends suddenly there.

Timetable's part 11 again.
11.4.7.5 timing command paragraph have swallowed shunting commands.
Between $noclaim
And
$detach
So, next paragraph (Start commands) is expected to be not 11.4.7.6, but 11.4.7.7 already.

This has been present from the first time the table was included (see https://github.com/o...mment-755186771). It is correctly displayed in some formats, but not in the pdf version. I couldn't manage to fix it at the time, so some help would be welcome.

I am happy to put the information in a different format if it will display better. (Perhaps as a simple text list or using a number of smaller tables.) I will have a look later. Should I send to you (or to who or where?).

Thanks for the VACUUM_EXHAUSTER code, Darwin.

If someone can provide similar code for OVERCHARGE, ORTS_BAILOFF and ORTS_QUICKRELEASE buttons, then I'll add all 4 buttons into the Manual.


		TwoState (
		  Type ( ORTS_QUICKRELEASE TWO_STATE )
                  Position ( 180 425 30 21 )
                  Graphic ( button1.ace )
                  NumFrames ( 2 2 1 )
                  Style ( WHILE_PRESSED )
                  MouseControl ( 1 )
		)

Hi Weter,

During translation work I have found and obtained confirmations, that there was a misspelling about /runaround qualifier of timetable mode.
11.4.7.10
It was called "$runround parameter" by mistake. At $forms and $triggers command descriptions.

Thanks for looking at this and trying to obtain confirmation.

However, when I search through the Open Rails code, the string "runaround" is nowhere to be found. The only string to be found is "runround":

Yes, Chris. That's a typo: correct is "/runround"
But the key point, that this is a qualifier, but not a parameter.

I couldn't get a table to flow across multiple pages reliably, so replaced it with multiple lists. Now in PR 736.
