SI FAQ: New Line in Text Override

How do I put a newline into a text override or contents field?

New Line in Text Override To put a newline into the Transition Deko text override field, on into a line of the contents list, use the   tag.

If you try to press Enter while editing the text override field, you just finish editing. If you put a new line into a contents field, it's treated as a separate item. Instead, type " " where you want the new line, for example

line 1 line 2 line3

  is one of the "Deko tags" - special directives that can be embedded in text override or contents text. You can also change styles, load arbitrary dko files, or even execute arbitrary Deko macro code. For a complete list of these tags, download Pinnacle's DekoTags example (about 120K bytes), or you can just view the readme file here directly. The example is a self-extracting exe that creates a new DekoTags folder in C:/DekoCast/samples. This is an unsupported example provided and owned by Pinnacle Systems/Avid Technologies.
