Text Questions

Hi.

1. Is there a way to make it so I can have LSL say quotation marks? ' doesn't work. Same question with \n.

2. How can I dynamicaly set new lines with llSetText? when I try and insert \n it just says them in the llSetText floating above the prim. I want it to actually add a new line, but it's being done off chat no hard coded.

You can escape things with backslashes.

llOwnerSay("This is a quotation mark: \" ";
llOwnerSay("This is a newline: \\n ";

To sneak an empty line into llSetText, cheat and add a space.

llSetText("This\n \nis a blank line \n \n", <1,1,1>, 1);

If you want to use "\n" from inputted text as a newline, you will have to replace it yourself.

string junk = "this has a literal \\n in it";

llOwnerSay("original: " + junk );
llOwnerSay("fixed: " + llDumpList2String(llParseString2List(junk, ["\\n"], []), "\n" );

Thanks
