Wiki INPUT has errors
#1
While viewing the INPUT command in the IDE help window the following line was displayed at the top:

!> Page uses unknown UTF-8 characters, please report it in the Wiki Forum.

When I clicked on Wiki Forum it took me here.

I reported the issue. Smile 

One other thing I noticed. The parameter list for PRINT looks a bit malformed:

PRINT [expression] [{;|,] [expression...]

Missing a curly brace.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

Thanks for reporting @TerryRitchie,

The missing curly brace in PRINT is added now.

The unknown UTF-8 char(s) will be implemented into the next QB64-PE release, so that the IDE is able to decode it in the future and replace it with a appropriate CP437 char.

Something else I noticed that may need looked into.

When pressing F1 while on the INPUT command a list box appears asking for the INPUT topic you wish to see in the help system window:

INPUT
INPUT (file mode)
INPUT (file statement)

Curious not to see LINE INPUT included in that list. An oversight?

No, LINE INPUT is simply another command and gets the same box but with all different LINE INPUT flavors, when pressing F1 when cursor is over the LINE of LINE INPUT Wink

Ah, gotcha, thanks for clarifying.
