how to print a link as item name and no brackets?

[Lodur]

Sure this has been covered before, but I haven't figured it out yet.

I want to display an item link as the item name with rarity color, capitalize words, and not ^ stuff.

This works except for the brackets.

local text = zo_strformat("<<t:1>>", data.link)

Any one know how to get rid of the brackets when printing a link?


Thanks

The brackets are decided by the number in the beginning of the link, unless it is one which uses the text property.

For item links and others that use language dependent rendering you can use
untested code:

link:gsub("%|H1", "|H0")

and for name links and similar

link:gsub("[%[%]]", "")

does the trick.

Just extra information, if your using GetItemLink(..) to get the link you can choose if you want brackets or not with it:

-- with brackets:
zo_strformat("<<t:1>>", GetItemLink(bagId, slotIndex, LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS))
 
-- without brackets, either its the same thing:
zo_strformat("<<t:1>>", GetItemLink(bagId, slotIndex))
zo_strformat("<<t:1>>", GetItemLink(bagId, slotIndex, LINK_STYLE_DEFAULT))

Thanks. Got it working with LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS instead.
