Dumb question about Modbuddy

So, in the Mod's description section... how can I start a new line? Hitting enter and visually starting a new line doesn't work as in the published mod it only registers as a space and the description is all jumbled.

Also, I've seen some mod descriptions highlight with green text? Any one know how to do it?

I know it's probably really obvious :blush:
 
Because the text is displayed "in-game" you can use any of the TXT_KEY_ style formatting codes, so new line is [NEWLINE], colours are applied with [COLOR_GREEN]...[ENDCOLOR] (or whatever) and you can use icons [ICON_GOLD], et al

BUT

The exact same text is displayed in Steam Workshop and that DOESN'T understand those formatting codes and will display them as is - but workshop does understand CR/LF as new lines.

SO

You can either have "pretty" text in game, and remember to edit the Workshop description every time you do an upload/update, or have poorly formatted text in-game and use standard carriage returns within the text for workshop. I go the latter, as I think more people will read the workshop text than the in-game text
