How to make line breaks in screen texts

[GeeSeki]

Hey, I'm wondering if there's an \n equivalent for text within a screen? I tried using \n but all it does is crashes my game and gives me an error.

It's just kind of annoying to have every new line start with 'text "...'

Code: Select all

vbox:
            
    text "+This is my text"
    text "+Hello world, I am testing this"
    text "+Random words to fill the lines"

I want it to be more like this for the sake of ease:

Code: Select all

vbox:
            
    text "+This is my text
          +Hello world, I am testing this
          +Random words to fill the lines"

Did you try to use \N instead of \n?

You can also use triple quoted strings.

Code: Select all

    """Your
    Text
    Here"""

What's the difference between \N and \N? I tried both \N and \n and it gives me 'SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal'

Capital N is hard line break - do it no matter what, right here
Lower case n is soft line break - do it about here, if the word fits
Edit.
Damn phone, always messing up what I type!

When I try the triple quoted string, it gives me this

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/scenes/myhouse/mybedroom/both/mybedroom_desk.rpy", line 97: expected a keyword argument, colon, or end of line.
(Perhaps you left out a " at the end of the first line.)
    text """+This is my text\n
           ^
                      Hello everybody"""
