Input with spaces
 
Hi I am quite new so this is probably a newbie question.

The problem I have is that I cant seem to say mulitple lines in one say. I try to manually add in the spaces but zmud cuts them off.

For example, I try to achieve this effect:

You say, "Here is the list:
Aragorn
Boromir
Gandalf
Legolas
and Frodo."

But zmud wont let me do it, please help.

Thanks

Are you trying to inject enough spaces so
that the list word wraps by the mud?

Pointers:
1) %char(32) is a space character.

2) %format("&#","string")
Where # is the desired padding and
string is what you want padded.

The key issue is how often do you do this?

If it is often you could make an alias to
take the list items (parameters) and
format a say so that they appear on each
line due white space padding to the mud's
word wrap point.

Thanks for replying.

Actually I will try them out. The list is just an example though. Sometimes I would like to achieve the effect of like reciting poetry or singing a song. It just looks alot cleaner if I can do it in one say instead of saying every single line.
