Popup formatting

[dpeva]

Is there any way to control the text layout within a popup window?

I query the operator for several dimensions, and would then like to display them so the operator can double-check her entry.

It would be nice to be able to present them in a chart format:

value 1 = 1.5
value 2 = 2.3

etc.

Instead, it just puts them all together, and even strips out leading or following spaces, making it harder to read.

See this post:

Creating new lines with strings

How can create a new line with string variables? For example, in other languages like python, “first line\n second line” produces this: first line second line How can I do this with urscript? I’m wanting to use a multi-line string with a yes/no pop. For example: change_params = request_boolean_from_primary_client(“Width: 20 inches\n Height: 10 inches\ Would you like to continue with these settings?”) Width: 20 inches Height: 10 inches Would you like to continue with these settings?

It gives an example of using HTML inside the popup string for formatting the text.

Thanks. Was able to insert html breaks and spaces to get this looking like I want.
Also was able to add a header line, as the title line in regular popups isn’t really all that noticeable.
