Line Breaks

[ghazghkull]

Hey I'm just wondering how does one do a line break for this one? I mean I know with HTML you use the <BR> command to make a new line, but how is that done for Ren'Py? Or rather what's the code for Ren'Py?

{p} adds a linebreak while pausing the line, but I don't know if that's what you want ... I never use it, myself ... (very rarely)

So that

"I saw {p} YOU" becomes:

"I saw"

CLICK

"I saw
YOU"

Type \n to get a line break. So:

Code: Select all

"This is\ndialogue."

will display as:

Code: Select all

This is
dialogue.

Thanks a lot ^^

I tried \n and got an infinite loop.

Is this method for a line break still viable? I noticed this post is 15 years old and the engine may have been updated.

It works for me:

Code: Select all

"Some words.\nA linebreak"

gives me:

You should probably look at the text documentation next time instead of reviving a fifteen year old thread lol.

Sorry for reviving a 16 (!) -year old thread, but "\n" doesn't in fact appear to work inside a custom text tag...I had to resort to a function and ugly syntax to accomplish this.
