We just improved the article validation process over at Spin Distribute – our in-house article distribution system.
We know how annoying it is to apply a bunch of the {first option|second option} spinning syntax to your articles, and get the “faulty syntax” error that’s caused by a missing “{” or “}” character. In this case it’s usually incredibly difficult to locate the error and fix your spinning syntax.
With this in mind we decided to help you out. Say you’re working with this text: “However, before {going | rushing} to the nearest hardware store and buying a sprayer …”
You just so happen to forget the closing “}” character, so you’re left with “However, before {going | rushing to the nearest hardware store and buying a sprayer …”
From now on, Spin Distribute’s validation system will provide additional information that should help you resolve your problem really quickly:
“There seems to be something wrong with the number of brackets.
There’s probably a ] character missing shortly after:
»…However, before [going | rushing to the nearest hardware st…«
Please, check your spinning syntax once again.”
This should make your day-to-day spinning even easier!
