Hi everyone,

Basically I’m just wondering how you start a new line in an output text. The reason I’m asking is since I’m making a quiz game and some of the questions / answers are to long for the text box and instead of making a new line by them selves they just continue outside the box.

The code in question looks like this  
\_root.Question = “What colour is the sky in the day?”;  
and I would for example want to start a new line after “is”.

Thanks in advance
