"My tiny apartment, {w}{a=show: roommate3.png at left} and my roommate...{/a}"
What I want to have happen is the line of text pauses for the player to click again (that part works), the player clicks and the rest of the text appears (that part works) along with the image of the roommate. It's that last bit with the roommate that screws up. The last bit of text just turns orange, and no image.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand I just re-re-reread the section I was getting that {a} from and realized this is turning it into a link, and that's why it's orange, the player would have to click the orange text.... Now that I've realized that, my question just got bigger, cause I feel like I'm even further from understanding how to do this. Any help?

# {done} is used, so text won't change its position between clicks.
# If your text is short enough and this is not an issue, you can drop that tag:
# "My tiny apartment,"
"My tiny apartment, {done}and my roommate..."

I feel like such an idiot. I got hung up looking at the "General Text Tags" since I saw show in there, and never even bothered to check the Dialog Text tags, which had the exact thing I wanted.
