Great work

Ok my parser is almost finished, but i've got 2 feature requests now. The first one:

A no emoticon option for the engine.output function. The output of my parser isn't supposed to contain emoticons. Not too difficult i would think.

Another one, an option to display text in fixedsys font, so the characters all have the same size. Like the <pre> tag in html. My parser is displaying guitar-tabs, but those aren't really usefull without the fixedsys font

Great idea, the guitar tabs! I used to play the guitar myself.

Try engine.output "/noformat " & text

I'll think about that, but it won't be easy to implement I think.

Off course! That works .

But guitar tabs are prety useless without a fixed font, so i'm thinking of just display a link to the tab .

You could also make an argument 'url' to show the url only. Or just display the entire tab and put the url below it. Or another option is to show a messagebox informing the user they should set the right font, etc. etc.. There are quite some possibilities

I know, but there are also a lot of problems with finding the right song. Ok, if you type "Golden Earring - Radar Love" it all works properly...

But with K-Otic -  Can't Get You Out Of My Mind, it's a lot more complicated for the user to type! So i'm still thinking of it . Got a lot of other things to do so this parser can wait. At least your plugin system works properly

Alright, I'm sure you will manage! (otherwise just pm/msn mwe)

Great news: MEWS got rated 4 stars at onekit.com!

thats a nice plugin,

btw if you want to improve the installer, ill be very glad to help .

p.s looks like someone is violating a rule
