Paragraphs in Mod Descriptions

[Barathor]

Currently, in order to make a mod description more readable within the game, I've been going thru my text and using [NEWLINE][NEWLINE] at the end of lines of text or paragraphs. Not only that, but I've been clumping the entire lines of text together in a string (xxxx[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]xxxxxx[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]xxxxx) to avoid ugly indents at the beginning of each new line.

Even worse, when I then upload the mod to the Steam Workshop and copy the description to the Workshop page, I have to go thru the entire thing again and hit a bunch of Enters and delete every instance of [NEWLINE][NEWLINE].

It's also inconvenient when I have to make edits to the text that I already "converted" using [NEWLINE][NEWLINE].

This really stinks; there's got to be an easier way to do this. Am I missing something?

I ended up redoing some of mine from within modbuddy, as after doing so once they were uploaded to the Workshop appeared to cause issues.

It's either a case of look bad in the Workshop, or in the game... Unless I'm also missing something

TELL me about it! I usually write long, detailed descriptions of what my mods do (and if the description includes an update list, it's even longer). Deleting [NEWLINE], [ICON], and [COLOR/ENDCOLOR] tags from the in-game text is the shortest way to keep the same detailed description on the mod's Workshop page. Ugly, but true!

What I've ended up doing is editing the tagless version in a separate plain-text file first, then pasting the result into the Workshop's description space once it looks passable. That takes a bit more work, but the result is worth it!
