T:\guideREX.xml 'description'\n'actor' The result is the existing 'description' , followed by, on a newline, the actor(s) separated by the standard WG++ element separator | . The result: This is the original description.

Michael Douglas, Kim Basinger You can make this prettier by adding some text to the actors addition: 'description'\nActors: 'actor(, )'. The result: This is the original description. Actors: Michael Douglas, Kim Basinger. A small problem: Suppose the source xmltv show doesn't have any actors, then the result would be not so pretty: This is the original description. Actors: . To avoid that, the added text can be linked to the element it must be added to, like this: 'description'{\nActors: 'actor(, )'.} Result with actors: This is the original description. Actors: Michael Douglas, Kim Basinger. And without actors: This is the original description.

This will ensure that, when the element in it is empty, everything between the {} is ignored. E.g. {\nProduced in : ('productiondate')} - the text in the xmltv-target elements may contain the following simple formatting : - \n or \r to force a newline - \t to add a tab 2. The allowed xmltv-target elements (the ones in the target file specified above) are :
