Heya,
I love the new multiline text feature, even if it isn’t yet documented in the API, however I was wondering if it is possible to justify text, or whether such a feature could be added?
In the longer run, in as far as possible it would be wonderful to be able to mark up text, so that within a single paragraph individual words can be coloured, or styled for emphasis.

Do you have any code example for the multiline method? [import]uid: 106083 topic_id: 18518 reply_id: 71048[/import]
There’s a couple of examples here:

In terms of a mark up to pass into the newText method, I think a simple HTML-like syntax would work fine:
local text=[[
A load of **Text**!
With all the <color>sins</color> of early <u>90's</u> webdesign!
]]
display.newText(text,0,0,"Impact",96)
Perhaps even it might be possible to use the existing HTML renderer to render to a GL surface? [import]uid: 11757 topic_id: 18518 reply_id: 71050[/import]
+1 I think alignment of multiline is very important and a core feature. I don’t think we’ll need html syntax… [import]uid: 22829 topic_id: 18518 reply_id: 73003[/import]
