- Worldeater
- hint happily accepts structured text:
_starL = "<img image='\ca\ui\data\debr_star.paa' align='left'/>"; _starL = _starL + _starL + _starL; _starR = "<img image='\ca\ui\data\debr_star.paa' align='right'/>"; _starR = _starR + _starR + _starR; _title = "<t color='#ff0000' size='1.2' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000' align='center'>TITLE</t><br/><br/>"; _text = "Bla bla bla bla bla..."; hint parseText (_starL + _starR + _title + _text);
