how would i make my text have a space as if i pressed enter. is there a certain code? i want it to look like:

[color=blue]here is some text

heres the other text bjalkjds;lkfja;sdlkjf[/color]

i tried putting the text and then just hitting enter, but then it doesn’t work. is this possible w/ only 1 text field?  
thanks!

you could use html 🙂

```php

_root.mytextfield = textline1blabla<br>textline2blabla
<br> is for line break

```

man this doesn’t whow the html code 😏  
It just adds a new line…  
well the line break in html is  
“\<” + “br” + “\>”
