Oh I'm realizing I should post about this, for TGDE I changed it so the newlines are one bar instead of two, now that I don't have to worry about control codes.
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the TGDE will no longer let you increase line lengths. I have no idea where the pointers are, and things have gotten very, very broken, so this is where we're at.
The Tenchi Game Dialogue Editor has been updated to not include control codes, ensuring a smooth experience across all text editors. I'm still working on figuring out why it broke so much text in my hack, though...
