Hello! I have a text box and am using the 'Write text' event to make a dialogue thingy. The only problem I have with this is that I can't have blank lines to separate the text.

Is it possible to do so? If I don't all the text just get's annoying and confusing.

"Your text" & NewLine & "Your new line"

But that wouldn't generate a blank line. For a blank line, use 2x NewLine:

"Text" & NewLine & NewLine & "more text"

the wiki shows other expressions also (scroll to the paragraph "text"):

Yes, I found that out on myself, but thanks for the extra info anyway.
