There was a problem with escape characters in

Thanks!!

I fixed the escaping “| |” issue (it renders differently on the GitHub repo and on the GitHub Pages page…).

Could you write something about the try ... catch ?

Yeah, I can do that. And as a bonus I’ll write something about String.format(). Processing.py has it and Java.lang version is almost identical

That would be wonderful! I like .format() very much!
