Guild Wars 2

When retrieving the german world names, there is a <br> tag in “Meer des Leids”. This makes it pretty ugly when displaying it on a HTML page.

This is a general problem. The same thing happens on the new leaderboards and the ingame world selection window. I think it’s been reported for a looong time but I can’t find the thread right now…

Hmm…

something like this may help

Sure. But what about trying to get the source fixed instead of using ugly workarounds (which we can’t use for the leaderboards for example)?

Then, on the other hand, would be a lot more to fix… ;D
In case you run the data through a script (which is the case in 99.9% i guess) then it’s not too hard to strip tags while you’re at it.

Yep, looks fine now.

btw. have you looked into that double space thing yet? I belive that most french and spanish items (~6200 each) with runes on them are affected.

example: https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/item_details.json?item_id=30189&lang=es

pattern: name [double space] suffix
