At the moment incorrect usage of % will display the following error.
ERROR: boost::bad_format_string: format-string is ill-formed
Working version:
- &alreadyInX
type: error
content:
- lang: en
text: 'Delete. Already included in %1%.'
- &alreadyInEnderalDLC
<<: *alreadyInX
subs: [ 'Enderal - Forgotten Stories.esm' ]
condition: 'file("Enderal - Forgotten Stories.esm")'
Changes that will cause the error:
'Delete. Already included in 1%.'
or
'Delete. Already included in %1.'
or
'Delete. Already included in %1%%.'
So if possible we should show where the error is happening.

This would have to be done in libloot, as the bad_format_string
exception thrown has get_pos()
and get_next()
member functions, which are only useful in a context that also has the formatting string input. With them, we might be able to have errors like `format-string is ill-formed at "1%.", which is a little more useful.
