Hello there,
Recently new to both programming and Twine. I've been working on a small project now for a month or so. Slowly getting through the macros, trying to deploy them in various ways. I've now gotten to the stage in a project of trying to adjust the spacing, making it look good. I seemed to have reached the tricky area of whitespace and linebreaks.
I am using Harlowe 2.0.0 and Twine 2.
Having followed this discussion:
https://twinery.org/forum/discussion/6316/lists-whitespace-and-seperate-lines-harlowe
I managed to deploy Greyelf's solution, using the backslash, inside the associated hook. This worked great for me, when creating a long quest list, with various (if: )'s. The problem I currently have is, how to escape and suppress a line break, while inside a hook, and execute another hook (this time linked).
This is an example of the current trouble I am having. This example fails in that the [Give the dog a rest] hook looses all spacing with the text above it.
The link usually rams up against the other text around it. I've been putting backslashes everywere to see if I can make a difference but I am having no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
