Messageboxes and formatting

[oblivion]

This might be a big ask, and it's entirely cosmetic so I wont be upset if it's too complicated or trivial to bother with!

In the context of my cheat sheet script tutorial, I found myself wishing I could format the message text a bit better.

A couple of possibilities occur to me: first, might it be possible to support tabs, so text that's not at the start of the line could be aligned?

Second, might it be possible to support colours?

So -- if I had both wishes granted, I could do something like

Code Select Expand

Data: Add [darkblue]name${tab}[darkred]header$

and my output would be prettified?

Colors (and rich text) aren't possible with the message boxes as Windows doesn't support that.

For tabs, you can press the Tab key when composing your text and they'll be tabbed in the shown message box:





Having said that, I have also just made the next version allow both {enter} and {tab} to be specified as part of the text for messages. So you will be able to do this for your Data or Strings if you choose to type them as one line:

Code Select Expand

Data: Add "one{tab}two{tab}three~{enter}~four{tab}{tab}five"
