Is this possible? If so how?
I know you can probably do it by using /n but is there a cleaner way of doing it?
[lua]local text = [[I have text
in a multiline
string]]
label:SetText(text)[/lua]
Lua has a nice syntax for making multiline strings.

Works, kind of. It only shows the middle line though.
Because you you need to use [lua]\n[/lua]
So, it would be:
[lua]local text = [[I have text \n in a multiline \n string]]
label:SetText(text)[/lua]
[editline]11:10AM[/editline]
"\n" means new line

No you don't, the Multiline strings handle that for you.
Bah I find that \n works fine for me.
You would have to use \n if you are not using multiline strings.
[lua]local str = "This is line 1\nThis is line 2"
local str = [[
This is line 1
This is line 2
]][/lua]
Oh, well i've never had the need for multiline strngs, so i have never used them
