textScreen and line breaks

What is the proper way to indicate new paragraphs in the textScreen? I am bringing in the text via json, and currently have \\n, but that shows on screen as \n. I'm sure it's a simple answer, I just can't find it anywhere....

Re: textScreen and line breaks

Have you tried just a \n in the JSON instead of \\n? If that doesn't work (I suspect it will), you can replace the \n's with Chr(10)'s.

Ah... will try that. I read somewhere that it needed to be escaped in json with the double slash....
