Implemented Smart Hybrid Parser to handle virtually any fantasy or real-world scenario
while maintaining backward compatibility with existing comma-separated formats.
**Date Parsing Enhancement (infoBoxWidgets.js, lines 43-62):**
- Added conditional parsing: structured (comma-separated) vs unstructured
- Structured: "Tuesday, 15 January, 2024" → weekday/month/year split
- Unstructured: "3rd Day of Ninth Moon Year of Dragon" → full text in month field
- Handles: Fantasy calendars, ISO dates (2024-01-15), prose, stardates
**Weather Parsing Enhancement (infoBoxWidgets.js, lines 84-120):**
- JOIN remaining comma parts instead of taking only 2nd part
- Fixes: "🌧️, Heavy rain, flooding, winds" → preserves full forecast
- Added emoji prefix detection for non-comma formats
- Handles prose weather: "The air crackles with magical energy"
- Graceful fallback: no emoji → text-only display
**formatWeather Enhancement (sceneInfoWidget.js, lines 65-102):**
- Added no-emoji handling (display forecast only)
- Expanded symbol validation: custom symbols (+++, ***, ##)
- Symbol regex: /^[+*#~\-=_]+$/ for weather symbols
- Text-as-emoji handling: combines text with forecast gracefully
**formatLocation Enhancement (sceneInfoWidget.js, lines 126-148):**
- Changed to split on FIRST comma only (using indexOf)
- Preserves all remaining text after first comma as label
- Fixes: "The Winding Stair, Third Floor, East Wing, Palace" → keeps full context
- Still preserves hyphens in names (Seol Yi-hwan)
**CSS Text Wrapping (style.css, lines 2716-2745):**
- Removed white-space: nowrap restriction
- Added -webkit-line-clamp: 3 for values (2-3 line wrap)
- Added -webkit-line-clamp: 2 for labels
- Added word-wrap and overflow-wrap for long words
- Text now wraps gracefully instead of truncating prematurely
**Backward Compatibility:**
✅ Existing formats continue to work perfectly
✅ "Tuesday, 15 January, 2024" still parses as structured
✅ "🌤️, Partly cloudy" still displays with emoji
✅ "Location, City" still splits correctly
**New Format Support:**
✅ Fantasy: "3rd Day of the Ninth Moon Year of the Azure Dragon"
✅ ISO: "2024-01-15"
✅ Prose: "The third day after the full moon"
✅ Stardates: "Stardate 47634.44"
✅ Weather prose: "The air crackles with magical energy"
✅ Weather symbols: "+++, Heavy rainfall"
✅ Complex locations: "Building A, Floor 3, Room 101, Campus"
✅ Hyphenated names: "Seol Yi-hwan's Private Quarters"
**Testing Scenarios Covered:**
- Standard comma-separated formats (backward compat)
- Fantasy calendars without commas
- ISO date formats
- Prose descriptions for date/weather
- Stardates and custom time systems
- Weather symbols instead of emoji
- Multi-part weather forecasts
- Long multi-part locations
- Hyphenated character names
Result: Widget now handles ANY user-defined format while maintaining
visual polish and backward compatibility.
