Is there a Difference between these ???

@plainbroke To expand on @wishmaster270 comment - To post code, please use the button
that looks like this:

that button puts this ``` into your text, allowing you to get code posted like this to make it readable:

{
ipAddress: “192.168.178.31”,
name: “QNAP1”,
icon: “database”,
colorStateOnline: “green”,
colorStateOffline: “red”,
},

@BKeyport however

if u copy/paste from outside a code block backtics

the bad quotes(curved/slanted) are copied, as in your example

and will not be corrected, and will cause problems in config.js

BKeyport

@sdetweil (that wasn’t a copy. It was escaped. backslash ` )

sdetweil

@BKeyport your post has the bad quotes
that’s all I was saying, even tho in code block

BKeyport

@sdetweil oh, I C&P’d that. :)

sdetweil

@BKeyport yes, that was my point

plainbroke

Ok, I get it I did not post it correctly.
What I am trying to get at does it matter if the line is one line of text or does it need to be several lines to make it read correctly in MM?

sdetweil

@plainbroke the 3backtics of the code block must be on a separate line. start and end

ExperiMentor

@plainbroke Both versions have an error (different errors).

list itemThe single line example has " (quote marks) missing in “database” that you need to add.
list itemThe multi-line example has an extra , (comma) after “red” that you need to delete.

This is like programming: precise details matter and stop things working if you get them wrong

@ExperiMentor the extra comma is not an error…
