[Expo-tech] Logbook parsing?

[Sam Wenham]

The cause of this is that the tags on the weird looking one are all in
caps. Change them to lowercase and it will work better.

I'm not sure the edit link would even work. Changing the entry in the
database is easy but changing a sub section of a file that is badly
formatted without rewriting the rest of the file sounds like a recipe
for disaster. If you want to do that you need a real file standard we
actually stick to.
