How do you linebreak in NVL?

#1 Post by P#A#L »

I'm writing a text game using NVL mode. I can't figure out how to break lines so that I can have blocks of NVL text that go like
"Hello
Goodbye"
In one click, instead of having to click to get "Hello" and then click again to get "Goodbye".

I checked the wiki, and it was helpful for customizing the text formatting, but I can't find any mention of linebreaks.

looks like this:

A

metallic
and
serpent like object cuts its way through the silent darkness of space. Its sharp angles outlined with the brilliant light of the massive ball of flame overtaking the horizon behind it.'

Thanks a lot. I need to list some stats and doing that without linebreaks is a nightmare for the player, one way or the other.
