I'm new to renpy and have been writing a script for the past few days and i thought i got the hang of it when i keep getting this error Exception Unknown text tag u 'i/'
This keeps happening when i try and add italics to some words.
{i}like{i/} <<< I am very sure this is how you are suppose to do this
Could someone please explain what i am doing wrong or how to fix this.
Code: Select all
plum "\"Well, maybe some people {i}like{i/} a little excitement pep?\" Plumeria said, face glowing at the notion of a town where the days weren't weren't as dull as in Coldrock: home of Goldhollow's biggest mine and forge."
If you need more information please ask.

It should be {/i}, not {i/}. :) That should work.

Thank you very much for the quick reply

but in the code
Code: Select all
plum "\"Well, maybe some people {i}like{i/} a little excitement pep?"
^ the italic does not have a comma or a full stop

The comma and the full stop were part of akemicchi's post! All you need to do is transpose the i and the /.
{/i}
not
{i/}
