Perhaps use this infront of the key in your code. <br> Not sure if it'd work but it's a try. No, it would not work. There's no place it would even remotely make sense to put that tag to achieve anything like what Non-PC asked. You didn't think this through at all. Don't just spout out random stuff; it doesn't help anybody. At best you've wasted forum space and at worst you've only managed to confuse someone looking for help. Lummox JR |

Among them are sd_Text, RaeKwon's demo (I don't think it's an actual library), and DmiFonts. DmiFonts remains the best choice because it supports variable-width fonts and can squeeze a name into a smaller space. Lummox JR |

I am sorry I did not quite under stand what Non-PC was talking about.I thought he wanted to be able to see the players key under their real name in a who command or so.Sorry didn't think as it of what he really wanted.

He said under the player, not the character name when printed in text output. The latter would have been much more specific and it would have been clear what he was alluding to. Even so, you'd have to actually think out where to put a <br> tag in order for what you said to make any sense at all. Rule of thumb: If you don't understand what someone's asking, just ask them to clarify. Non-PC could have been a little clearer, but basically it was quite obvious what he meant. Lummox JR |
