Talk:DISPLAY TEXT WITH TWO LITERAL STRINGS

I just want to remove any confusion behind the different between the LITERAL_STRING and STRING drawing commands.

The difference between the literal strings and the regular strings is that the literal strings can contain meta-characters, and from what I have seen, GXT characters as well (using the ~xxx~ tags).

Using the literal string drawing commands, those delimiters will be converted (i.e. \n will make a new line [possibly ~n~]).

Using the regular string drawing commands, test will be drawn "as-is", and any delimiters will be drawn.

The string "Niko \n Bellic" OR "Niko ~n~ Bellic".

Drawing using Literal String format appears: 

Niko 
Bellic

Drawing using Non-Literal String format appears: 

Niko \n Bellic OR Niko ~n~ Bellic


Hope that helps some people in understanding the difference :) Tylerp9p 22:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
