Thread:Extension talk:Lingo/Lingo is Finicky

I solved my problem, but just in case anyone else has it, I thought I'd post the information here. The terminology page for Lingo is very finicky. When they say format it like this: ;Term1:Def1 ;Term2:Def2

They mean format it EXACTLY like that. The following does not work:

;Term1 :Def1

;Term2 :Def2

This does not work either:

;Term1 ;TermVar1 :Def

When it breaks, it breaks in ways that may not make the cause immediately apparent. Your list may have some tooltips, which may stop several tips above where the error is. If the problems are severe enough, it will stop working altogether.
