I fixed the syntax error but the result shows:
>>>
[None]
[None, None]
[None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None]
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]
>>>
No error but if I don't call the content I posted up and call this as a
content: #content = "#C[Health] #P[Information]"
result gives me #C[Health]
