SyntaxError: invalid character '·' (U+00B7)

Replaced 3.57g with 3.57h and ran it. It aborted:

 File "C:\DP\ppgen-gg2-json\ppgen.py", line 121

I've run a couple of files through 3.57h using both python 3.11 and python 3.14 and I don't see that error. What was the exact ppgen invocation command you used? And can you provide your -src.txt file?

[okrick]

It’s a little surprising that the source file now processes without error. I didn’t include it earlier, since the middle dot issue seemed to originate in ppgen.py at line 121. The source is no longer identical, as the project was completed using version 3.57g. Middle dots don’t appear to have been present in the source (other than the unused .srs for poetry), and I’m not sure what in the source might have triggered an error originating in ppgen.py.

And what exact command did you use to invoke ppgen? In particular, what command line options?

Line 121 is merely part of a logging routine. And the string <title> which you see in the error message is only used within ppgen when your source has a .dt directive to set a document title for the HTML. But you wouldn't have included a .dt line with information about the ppgen version that was running.

Perhaps if you used the -dd command line option, and had a peculiar error in your source file, you might get a message line that included detailed ppgen version info, but I'm not aware of anything exactly like that.

I used start cmd.exe /k C:/DP/ppgen-gg2-json/ppgen.py -i $f -img within GG2.
