Make an Array with the month names and then loop trough it accordting to initial month and end month:

You don't want to use a placeholder image to prioritize your background images in situations like this, you want to use . That will tell the browser to start downloading the image as soon as possible.

Try adding the following code to the of your page, and then use your background image as normal. It should load much faster:

Tesseract takes a lang variable that you can expand to include different languages if they're installed. I've used the UB Mannheim (https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki) installation which includes a ton of languages supported.

To get better and more accurate results, the best thing to do is to process the image before handing it to Tesseract. Set a white/black threshold so that you have black text on white background with no shading. I'm not sure how to do this in Node, but I've done it with Python's OpenCV library.

If that font doesn't get you decent results with the out of the box, then you'll want to train your own, yes. This blog post walks through the process in great detail: https://towardsdatascience.com/simple-ocr-with-tesseract-a4341e4564b6. It revolves around using the jTessBoxEditor to hand-label the objects detected in the images you're using.

Edit: In brief, the process to train your own:

1. Install jTessBoxEditor (https://sourceforge.net/projects/vietocr/files/jTessBoxEditor/). Requires Java Runtime installed as well.
2. Collect your training images. They want to be .tiffs. I found I got fairly accurate results with not a whole lot of images that had a good sample of all the characters I wanted to detect. Maybe 30/40 images. It's tedious, so you don't want to do TOO many, but need enough in order to get a good sampling.
3. Use jTessBoxEditor to merge all the images into a single .tiff
4. Create a training label file (.box)j. This is done with Tesseract itself. tesseract your_language.font.exp0.tif your_language.font.exp0 makebox
5. Now you can open the box file in jTessBoxEditor and you'll see how/where it detected the characters. Bounding boxes and what character it saw. The tedious part: Hand fix all the bounding boxes and characters to accurately represent what is in the images. Not joking, it's tedious. Slap some tv episodes up and just churn through it.
6. Train the tesseract model itself

• save a file: font_properties who's content is font 0 0 0 0 0
• run the following commands:

tesseract num.font.exp0.tif font_name.font.exp0 nobatch box.train

unicharset_extractor font_name.font.exp0.box

shapeclustering -F font_properties -U unicharset -O font_name.unicharset font_name.font.exp0.tr

mftraining -F font_properties -U unicharset -O font_name.unicharset font_name.font.exp0.tr

cntraining font_name.font.exp0.tr

You should, in there close to the end see some output that looks like this:

Master shape_table:Number of shapes = 10 max unichars = 1 number with multiple unichars = 0

That number of shapes should roughly be the number of characters present in all the image files you've provided.

If it went well, you should have 4 files created: inttemp normproto pffmtable shapetable. Rename them all with the prefix of your_language from before. So e.g. your_language.inttemp etc.

Then run:

combine_tessdata your_language

The file: your_language.traineddata is the model. Copy that into your Tesseract's data folder. On Windows, it'll be like: C:\Program Files x86\tesseract\4.0\tessdata and on Linux it's probably something like /usr/shared/tesseract/4.0/tessdata.

Then when you run Tesseract, you'll pass the lang=your_language. I found best results when I still passed an existing language as well, so like for my stuff it was still English I was grabbing, just funny fonts. So I still wanted the English as well, so I'd pass: lang=your_language+eng.

Although they 'don't exist', can Format.ps1xml files be created/used in versions of PowerShell greater than 5.1?

• Yes; in fact any third-party code must use them to define custom formatting.

  • That *.ps1xml files are invariably needed for such definitions is unfortunate; GitHub issue #7845 asks for an in-memory, API-based alternative (which for type data already exists, via the Update-TypeData cmdlet).

• It is only the formatting data that ships with PowerShell that is now hardcoded into the PowerShell (Core) executable, presumably for performance reasons.

is there some better practice for suggesting to PowerShell how a certain function should format returned data?

The lack of an API-based way to define formatting data requires the following approach:

• Determine the full name of the .NET type(s) to which the formatting should apply.

  • If it is [pscustomobject] instances that the formatting should apply to, you need to (a) choose a unique (virtual) type name and (b) assign it to the [pscustomobject] instances via PowerShell's ETS (Extended Type System); e.g.:

    • For [pscustomobject] instances created by the Select-Object cmdlet:

If I understand correctly, there are two parts to the question.

To do this, right-click your PowerShell window and head to "Properties"

There, you can choose the header "Font" and change your font to Cascadia Code PL".

This should fix the problem. If you still experience some weird characters, you might need to install a Nerd Font instead.

To use the font in the VS Code Terminal, head to Settings.

Searching for "integrated terminal font family" should bring up the setting you need to edit. Here, add your font 'Cascadia Code PL' on the very front of the setting and save.

Integrated:Font Family"" />

You should now be able to open a terminal and use the PL prompt.

What do you exactly mean with the restart app? If you want to restart the game or a specific scene you can just Load that scene in Unity with:

If I understand correctly, there's no property-bag/array you need to expand (using mv-expand), rather you can extend/project the properties of your choice directly, e.g:
