how do you place a single ' ? (Solved)

#1 Post by Tahrgat »

For the life of me I can't understand how to place a single ' in a Ren'Py dialog.

Example: "He went to his sister's car."

I've tried every kinda backslashing with no luck. I know this is probably simple and dumb, but I could really use an answer if anyone will please humor me. Also I want to add one to a character name. Is that the same method?

The backslash should be right before the apostrophe.
'"He went to his sister\'s car."'

This works for double quotes too, to note.

I appreciate it Li :) My biggest problem was that I kept trying to position 2 backslashes for a single ' like you would do for "". It was dumb of me, but I just couldn't find the answer anywhere.
