I'm using the CSV plugin and I want to be able to add newlines in the spreadsheet to then be displayed via SpriteFont.

SpriteFont doesn't like when there's a carriage return in the text, nor does it like '\n' or <br />.

Is there a way I can embed the newlines in the raw text?

EDIT: the default is to wrap the two lines in " "s but I am pasting the CSV into a string and need the "s for the string.

Use your own character or a tag to mark a new line, and then replace it with newline before displaying on the screen. I often use ^ symbol.
s="Hello there^general Kenobi!" SpriteFont set text to replace(s, "^", newline)

dop2000 oh that's a nice idea! my terrible work around was to add my own character and not represent it in the character list so it would just add spaces and then eventually word wrap. but your idea is great thanks!
