Okay, got title formatting working for Header/Footer..  Don't use %album%, %artist%, etc as this will have unpredicatable results..  I suggest sticking to only %_foobar2000_version% and the extra stuff I give you below:
%_average_track_length_string%
%_average_track_length_seconds%
%_average_track_length_minutes%
%_playlist_length_string%
%_playlist_length_seconds%
%_playlist_length_minutes%
%_playlist_length_hours%
%_playlist_number% -- Will be -1 for header, -2 for footer
%_playlist_total%
%_num_tracks_no_length%
%_custom_output_version%

Example:
Header:
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<title>foobar2000 Playlist</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="foobar2000.css" />
</head>
<body>
<table>


Format:
Code: [Select]
<tr>
<td>[%_playlist_number%.]</td>
<td>[%artist%]</td>
<td>$if(%title%,%title%,%_filename_ext%)</td>
<td>[%_length%]</td>
</tr>


Footer
Code: [Select]
</table>
</body>
</html>


With slight modification could this would give you something akin to this

Cloned Winamp output. Deals with 1-hour, 1-minute, 1-second tracks successfuly, as in original. Used %% to display % in output. Used manual $crlf() settings for clear human-readable output.

Might be buggy.

edit: Mr_Rabid_Teddybear's code was integrated. Used [] to show spaces between numbers and letters.

@kjonlee: The statistics (n tracks in playlist...) are very tiny, cannot read it (in Opera)

About the tiny letters: that's not a bug, that's a feature! I wanted to reproduce Winamp's output, even if it meant non-standard HTML or strange output.

Feel free to adjust as necessary. You could start by geting rid of <small><small> and </small></small> to make it less small.

As for creating a new version which is standards-compliant but looks the same, or something that looks better, I'll leave that job to someone else. I prefer a table-based approach, you see.

Okay. Am I just plain stupid or why can't I find the fscking way to edit the template? ^^;

EDIT: NO! It just hadn't loaded the component. *goes to a corner to hide*

EDIT 2: Oh screw it. I still can't find the way to edit it. So, would anyone mind to tell me?

Ah. Thank you. I had no preferences entry like that - until I updated my Playlist Output component ^^ That didn't even occur to me that it could've been because of old components..

I tried out kjoonlee's Winamp style formatting. The format bit goes:

%_playlist_number%. [%artist% - ]$if2(%title%,%_filename%)[ '('%_length%')']<BR>$crlf()

OK. "Convert Special HTML Characters" checked also converts <BR> to &lt;BR&gt; in addition to converting occurences of <, > and & from %artist% and %title% fields in playlist. That makes a little crappy output.....  On the other hand; not checking "Convert Special HTML Characters" does not fix occurences of <, > and & from %artist% and %title% fields in playlist, so what to do.... Is there a way around this dilemma....

Ideally, Convert Special HTML Characters should only be active on %tag_contents%.

Workaround:
Code: [Select]
[$replace(%title%,&,&amp;,'',&apos;,",&quot;,<,&lt;,>,&gt;)]
//&apos; won't work with MSIE. Use "& # 3 9;" without the spaces or quotes if you use MSIE.

Thank you, Tres`ni, for a wonderful plugin.

Right now, there's just one more thing I want to ask for, and that's auto-$crlf() being made the default for header, format, and footer strings. Maybe getting rid of that checkbox too.

Header:
A

Format:
B

Footer:
C

Generating a playlist from the settings above will give ABBBC. It's not pretty if there are lots of items, and if an item is pretty long, it makes it difficult to debug your TAGZ formatting.

Right now, with the $crlf() option, the playlist results in:
AB
B
B
C

---

It would be much easier to debug TAGZ if the playlist resulted in:
A
B
B
B
C

Incidentally, the "copy strings" feature appends $crlf() for each string copied from an item in the playlist, (well, maybe not, but it sure looks as if something similar is happening, ) so I think this change would be more user-friendly as well.

Using %artist% or %album% or such in the footer or header is "safe," from an end-user's perspective; they just get shown as question marks, just like how normal TAGZ behaves for %unavailable tags%.

However, using %_playlist_number% in the footer just gives -1 instead of -2.

edit: Maybe you could just drop support for %_playlist_number% in the header/footer?

New Version

Encode HTML options is gone in place is @htmlsafe{} fake function..  Use it like you would most functions for foobar.

Code: [Select]
@htmlsafe{[%artist%]}


AutoCRLF is now defaults to on and applies to all 3 areas.

Ctrl-A now selects all

Removed the %_playlist_number% for HEADER and FOOTER [as pointed out it ain't really needed..]

Think that's everything..

[edit. fixed my horrible missing and  ]

You should make one unique plugin, not a  fix and a custom one. Foobar users are tweakers anyway, so I'd rather recommend a plugin with default fields and a "reset options" button.
I mean there's some confusion about the two plugins...

i have a suggestion/request:
i d like to be able to import/export the config to a file


EDIT: i have a problem with version 1.0.5
The "footer" section doesn t seem to be appended to the end of the file .
And the tag %_custom_output_version% displays version 1.0.3 instead of 1.0.5

Well, let me simplify.  Think of foo_playlist_output as the main plugin.  It provides all the real functionality.  foo_playlist_output_custom is an extension to foo_playlist_ouput for those who really want to tweak how their playlist is output.  It's not required and foo_playlist_output work fine on it's own.

New version

Added Save, Load, and Reset configuration buttons [to save and load from an external file.]

Added %average_track_length_seconds_d% and %playlist_length_seconds_d%.  These use floating point precision so you don't lose those precious microseconds  [Just so you can get everything foobar can]

You're using Windows 2000/XP/2003, right?

Make sure you have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> this in your HTML output, like in the exxamples.
