Note scroll new line

Post by tantalan »

Hi, how can i make a new line in note/scroll? I mean that i start on next line because right now when i enter some text it shows me only in one line. I guess i read somewhere here that "/n" should do it but it didnt work for me.
Thanks

Inserting "\n"'s is not needed when you type or copy/paste your text into the editor. The editor adds them for you.

But when you modify the .lua file directly with any kind of text or line editor your need to know how to cause a newline and that's done with a "\n" since decades. Since the OP asked about how to escape stuff i told him the correct way.
