I have a document that contains quotes I would very much like to use these quotes in the Randon Quotes module.

the problem is the the way the quotes are formatted in the Randon Quotes module is with quotation at the start and end of each quote.

My document looks like the one below and has about 1000 pages

*The Answer to the Great Question . . . Of Life, the Universe and Everything . . . Is . . . Forty-two.The computer Deep Thought, in ibid. ch. 27

So long, and thanks for all the fish.The dolphins’ farewell message to humanity, in So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish , ch. 31 (fourth book in the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, 1984)

Franklin Pierce Adams (1881–1960)US JOURNALIST AND HUMORISTA byword from the 1930s for wit and erudition, Adams set a precedent for the modern newspaper column with ‘The Conning Tower’, in the Herald Tribune 1913–37. He said of himself: ‘I am easily influenced. Compared with me a weather vane is Gibraltar.’

Years ago we discovered the exact point, the dead center of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.Nods and Becks , ‘Valentine’ (1944)*

If you think you can help me here I would be very thankful.

the last option

starts MM in a window that can be dragged across to the second monitor but is not sized correctly.
It is the size of the normal full screen

Got it up and running thank you very much.

Also changed the background to none as per the readme file.

Only problem now is getting it run a little faster.

@sdetweil Thanks I appreciate your help.

thank you very much I will check it out.

Looking for a News Ticker module with local and international rss streams

Please send me a link if you have such a module.

Scrolling would be an added bonus.

If I hover over the Electron icon in the taskbar I can see it must be open somewhere but not visible on one of the screens.

information entered like this

var config = {electronOptions:{fullscreen:false, x:1920, width: 600, height:800 },

Thank you I will try it tomorrow.

@sdetweil said in Getting MMM to open on the second monitor and correctly size:

electronOptions:{x:1920 }

I have entered the information like this

     this does not work      {electronOptions:{fullscreen:false ,x:1920 },
                                             {electronOptions:{x:1920,fullscreen:false }

This works
{electronOptions:{fullscreen:false }

It brings up a small screen but not sized correctly.
it shows Electron in the top left corner
this screen can be dragged to the second monitor.

.

here is the start up log

thank you very much for you help

I have entered the information as it is below

var config = {electronOptions:{x:1920, width:768, height: 1360 },

It still only opens on the primary screen.

1920, 768, and 1360 are highlighted red

I am not sure what that means.

This is all being done in Windows 10 with Note+ as the editor.
