Re: Text formatting questions

 

Heyho,

This is a Lua thing. [[ ]] is just a synonym to “”, but can also contain “ as a character and newlines. It is most useful for longer texts.

> 2) text .. paragraphdivider() .. text vs. p(text) .. p(text). Is there a difference?

I think this has mainly to do with localization. Gun had her reasons.
