Text Display Error - Help!

[thecrazyscot]

I've created several building modpacks (linky) and am working on another one for the Industrial Era. I've done everything that I did for my other modpacks, but the Building Description, Help Entry and Civilopedia Entry all show up incorrectly. I've looked over the xml over and over again, but can't seem to find why. Can someone take a look for me? Maybe another set of eyes can solve the problem...

I'm also having a problem with my Unique Policy Buildings modpack, which at one point showed up with the previous text error, but now will not show up at all!

Edit: TXT_KEY_BUILDING_GROCER is an unused text key in vanilla Civ ... this is why it is always recommended to include something unique in your type strings, eg TXT_KEY_BUILDING_TCS_GROCER (for The Crazy Scot)

Thank you - that fixed the problems for both of them. I'll start being more careful with my type strings to prevent this sort of error from occurring.

One more question - how would I go about updating the basic Policy help text? I've tried the <Update> and <Replace> tags as well as deleting the help text altogether and replacing it, but nothing seems to update the Policy help text in Civilopedia or the Policy screen (I'm hoping I won't have to mess with lua to do this...).

This was my last try:

Ok, I tried that and now the mod won't show up in game at all. Here's the log (hopefully the relevant portion):

That worked perfectly! Thanks for all your help.
