GUIquotes uses the UNIX fortune file format which is a text file in which each fortune is followed by a percent symbol (%) on a line by itself. The following is an example of the format.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. -- Thomas Alva Edison % Never laugh at live dragons. -- Bilbo Baggins [J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Hobbit"] % Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. -- Shakespeare % You can't have everything. Where would you put it? -- Steven Wright %
To see all of the quotes the file should start with the first quote and the file should end with a % line. GUIquotes does not support using %% nor spaces after the %. GUIquotes does not use the fortune binary .dat file.
