I have a simple bbcode.txt existusers.txt extstusers.parsed1.txt extstusers.parsed2.txt extstusers.parsed.txt testtext.txt test.txt users.json.txt file that I want to dispaly on 7 screen lines at the same time; however, in the text file if I hit the return key it delays that text until the next rotation. How can I have a line break (tried using a <br> command in txt file but didn't work. Example: (display for 7 seconds) MONDAY MENU (line break) Chicken (line break) Potatoes (line break) Veggies (next rotation 7 seconds) TUESDAY MENU Fish Pasta etc.

    Currenty, the text tickers don't have any formatting controls that will let you set line breaks.

    Is this still the case?  I'd like this same functionality for displaying my text file.

    The brightsign won't recognize line breaks through BrightAuthor. We recommend using the LiveText feature. It allows you to place multiple text items in a zone on a screen.

    I am also trying to do the same that many other people seem to desire.. displaying a zone of text that has more then one line, such as a simple text file that has 7 lines like the poster describes.  I went to the LiveText method described above rather then ticker but I still cant seem to get more then one line of text  in each zone.  Is there a way to put more then one line of text so I dont have to create a zone for each line of text? thanks
