"Invalid triplets" are triplets that have failed Hamming 24/18 decoding.
Previously, invalid triplets were converted at load time to either all zero
bits or, in the case of X/26 enhancement triplets, to "dummy" triplets of
reserved mode 11110 with a row address group that hopefully have no effect.
Now the X/26 enhancement triplet list can explicitly store invalid triplets
and will show them as "error decoding triplet".
Invalid triplets in other packets such as X/28/0 will still be zeroed out at
load time.
Since the TTI format has no provision for storing invalid triplets, saving a
page will convert the invalid triplets to reserved mode 11110 as described
above.
The actual bits of invalid triplets are not stored on the assumption that
they are not recoverable. Thus exporting to t42 format will write an invalid
triplet as a Hamming coded result of all zero bits which will still cause a
Hamming decoding failure.
The saving code has been refactored into one class per format with common
methods for each part of the saving process. This should make it easier to
add further formats, and inheriting a format class can allow implementing a
different format that is largely based on an existing format.
The loading code is also in one class per format but is largely the same as
what it was before.
Both classes have the ability to warn the user if any issues or errors are
or will be encountered when loading or saving.
TTI files are now written with CR/LF line endings on all platforms as a
result of using binary file writing for all formats, previously Linux builds
would save TTI files with just LF line endings. TTI files are still loaded
with readLine() and trimmed() which can cope with either type of line ending.
Experimental support for loading and exporting EP1 and HMS SD-Teletext htt
formats has been added. The htt format inherits from the t42 format as the
format appears to be largely the same except for the bits being reversed
within each byte and the clock run-in and framing code added before each
packet.
