<text> is broken

[joveaaron]

You can't print a string or a number, it always prints "table: " followed by some random bytes.

HML code:
<hml> <rect start={832,930}; size={128,128}; color={0,0,0,150};> <text position={0,0}; value=1234; color{255,236,12};/> </rect> </hml>

This is Adv. Hud Indicator 2

pretty sure adv hud 2 has been broken for longer than I've been a dev, so like 13 years at this point if not more

You sure that's how it's supposed to work?

I doubt they support parsing <xyz/> form of elements.
The semicolons don't seem correct either.

I see the test does this:

wire-extras/lua/entities/gmod_wire_hud_indicator_2/parse_test.lua

Line 13 in d321013

code = code .. "\t\t<text position={30, 50}>Meep\nWibble</text>\n"

Also, wtf is this how have I never heard of it lmao
Seems like a project like this if done properly would be perfect for E2 graphics

Nevermind semicolons do seem to work for me

But yeah the whole thing is so broken no idea why you're even trying to use it.

For me it just draws a rectangle and "NIL" with the syntax above.
