It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 13410
interpreted = N
texte = We have discovered a bug in WebCatalog 2.0GM that causes both cosmetic and stability side-effects.This bug only appears when you use the [ListFiles] context to list the files in a folder that is empty, or a folder that does not exist. If the folder exists, but is empty, then the incorrect error message appears saying Path not found. Ignoring [ListFiles] context.After attempting to process such a template, WebCatalog can also get into a state where it locks up or bombs when performing a later search.The current workaround is to make sure there is always at least one file in any folders that are used in a [ListFiles] context. The final release of 2.0.1 will fix this bug so that no special action will be required.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
