Some TMPro tags are not stripped, resulting in exceptions

[edwardrowe]

We need to strip all native tags when parsing the text, or else it will calculate the wrong number of characters to print and results in an ArgumentException.

Repro:

1. Add a <style> tag to text
2. Print it
3. Observe ArgumentException

To fix, we either need to add all missing "Unity" tags to the parser, or calculate characters to print based on the visible text. For now the easiest fix is to include all missing tags. Ex:

style
link

Another issue that could come up is you can use color like "<#FFFFFF>" instead of <color=#FFFF>. If that results in this same issue, we may want to look at solution that examines the visible text.

This should fix most of the exceptions and make the tags work. I also added a few missing ones that are not in the TMPro documentation (e.g. gradient)

Awesome, thanks for the list!

Currently, I get an exception when trying to type out this string:
"You can use Diamonds <sprite="diamond" index=0> to buy more."
I'm using version 2.2

So to fix this, I have to edit the class TextTagParser and change the UnityTagTypes field to the one written by @jushii? Why not include it in the release?

[edwardrowe]

These should absolutely be included. There's no reason I haven't - just haven't had time to update this repository much (though it's on the top of my list for my side projects).

You are correct - changing out this line to use @jushii's gist should work:

unity-text-typer/Assets/RedBlueGames/TextTyper/TextTagParser.cs

Line 22 in bb2d531

private static readonly string[] UnityTagTypes = new string[] { "b", "i", "size", "color", "style" };

In theory I'd also like to add these tags into the tests for tag parsing:
https://github.com/redbluegames/unity-text-typer/blob/master/Assets/RedBlueGames/TextTyper/Tests/Editor/TextTagParserTests.cs

[edwardrowe]

Should be fixed in release 2.3 https://github.com/redbluegames/unity-text-typer/releases/tag/v2.3

Thanks for the help, @jushii and @nguyentrong101094!
