str = MoonLoreRuleSymbol(nRuleID)

 

This macro function returns the contents of the Symbol field in the Moon Lore Rules Editor for rule nRuleID. The stored string is returned unchanged. This function does not test whether the rule matches any date.

 

The Symbol Font in Moon Lore Set Properties is used to select and display the symbols of the set's rules. This function returns the symbol string only; it does not apply that font to the macro output. Use appropriate font formatting when displaying the returned symbol in the diary.

 

For conditional display, first call MoonLoreNumHours for the required date, rule and Moon data source, and compare the returned hours with your chosen minimum. Retrieve this field when that test succeeds. The field lookup itself does not apply the minimum or evaluate the rule.
