Display Problem zdt 0.5.2 with Imported Wordlist

Can anyone help with this problem?
I'm using zdt 0.5.2 and created a new wordlist in MS Word using the
Traditional[tab]Simplified[tab]pinyin[tab]/definition[paragraph mark] format. The list was saved
as a UTF-8 encoded text file and then imported into zdt.
The before and after lists are pasted below. The first list is the source list (radical list from
the Integrated Chinese course) which was used in the import process. The list imported into zdt
without any error messages but when displayed in zdt there are entries missing and the pinyin
doesn't display at all for most of the entries. If you edit an individual entry you can see that
the pinyin is actually in the entry in the database, but for some reason it just doesn't display.
I have a feeling the problem might have something to do with the fact that some of the "definition
field" entries contain Chinese characters. Anyone seen this problem before and/or have a fix for
it?
Note: Even though the second (exported from zdt) list seems to have all the pinyin entries, they
don't display in zdt. It's also nine entries shorter than the original list.

I already sent you a PM on the chinesepod forum but I'll respond here as well. Your list is using
pinyin with tone marks which the ZDT doesn't currently support. You'll need to use pinyin with
tone numbers instead. I've also made a change to get rid of most of the restrictions on the
definition field. There should be an upcoming beta build ready tomorrow which will incorporate
this fix.

Chris,
It looks like you added a lot of flexibility to the wordlist rules. I can now enter punctuated
text strings in all but the pinyin field. I tried a single-entry test list below:
Traditional
請問，你住在哪？
And, here's the output of the four fields displayed in the word list pane:
請問你住在哪？
请问你住在哪？

May I ask, where are you staying?
As you can see, everything came out perfectly except the pinyin field was stripped of spacing and
punctuation and the first syllable (Qing3) was chopped off. I was able to get ZDT to accept the
first syllable by not capitalizing it. Would it be possible to add support for spacing and
punctuation in the pinyin field as well? I can live without it but it would really be a nice to
have.
Thanks!

If you check out the beta 3 build that I released today, it should fix the issue with the
capitalization. I'm still not sure about allowing arbitrary punctuation in the pinyin field
because it not clear to me yet if that would break things. But I will look into it. The spacing
issue seems to be important to a lot of people, so I will look into it as well.
