Hi

I use this: [ to make a new line.  And this: [[ to make a paragraph.

Example:

Code: ags

 cEgo.Say("Hello, I am wizard Manga.[ How do you do. [[ I am well thank you");

Produces this:
Hello, I am wizard Manga.
How do you do.

I am well thank you.


I use it  for Say and Display options. Not sure about inside a text box, depends what you are doing.

If you need the text to be editable then you're out of luck.*
If you just need to display text, use a label. They wrap text automatically.

*You'd have to code your own editor.
