Is there a way to make paragraph breaks in the briefing module?

[Drumheller 19]

Greetings. I am about to make a briefing module tutorial, but I want to know if there is a way to make paragraph breaks within the description field of the module itself.

If so, can someone tell me how? I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't figure out what search syntax to use to get a result for this.

Thanks!

Try using two HTML br tags.

Hello MacScottie.. I am not sure how to add the breaks in the module (I haven't really tried using it in the A3 editor that much..) but you can still use the old method of creating the briefing by making a .sqf file and executing it in the mission's init.sqf file.. here is how to add the breaks in that. I am not sure if it would work in the module, but it is worth a shot.

It's pretty simple, just use the HTML code

</br>

after the line of text you want to break for single line break and

</br></br>

after the line of text you want to break for double line break.

An example in text...

player createDiaryRecord ["Diary",["Situation","The invasion of Takistan began last week following an intense aerial bombing campaign launched last month.<br/>Blabla more text here following the break."]];

An example in text of double break..

player createDiaryRecord ["Diary",["Situation","The invasion of Takistan began last week following an intense aerial bombing campaign launched last month.<br/><br/>Blabla more text here following the break."]];

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I'll open a ticket on the issue tracker.

This definitely works, check your implementation.

Try this for in your description field:

This is line 1<br/>This is line 2 with a break<br/><br/>This is line 3 with 2 breaks

Odd that it doesn't work.

I see that you have found that on my US Marines from A2? lol.
