First off, I'm new to the forum so sorry for any information I lack, and sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum. Since I'm new... I am just modding a theme I downloaded (First Steps Plus). I've made a lot of changes and my most recent one was the "system info." Instead of having it sit horizontal all in one line, I made a rectangle for it that pops out from the left. I thought this would work:

infoFont $LabelFont$
infoFontHeight 12
infoFontAlign center
infoFontVertAlign center
infoScroll true
infoScrollSpeed 2
InfoSolidBevelSize 1
InfoText "Physical Memory: [meminuse]/[memtotal]
Virtual Memory: [swapinuse]/[swaptotal]
Drive $Drive1$: [DiskInUse('$Drive1$:',GB)]/[DiskTotal('$Drive1$:',GB)]GB
CPU: [cpu]
UpTime: [uptime]"


I want the info text to show up like this :

Physical Memory
Vitual Memory
Drive
CPU
UpTime

But with how it is now, its all in one line and only shows Physical Memory.... how do I write it so that it will show up in different lines... and also what are all possible things Litestep can read, and would I write them.

It must all go on one line. (\n works, too) will do a new line.

I think cerbie means " will do a new line (\n works, too)"

Bad tag eating forum :P
I think Cerbie and fractal mean "The HTML-tag br will do a new line (\n works, too)"

Nice to see someone modding my old theme. =) Like those guys say, you can do a new line with br (in < > type brackets) or \n. If you're looking for more display options, that's actually xlabel displaying those. Check out the xlabel readme html file, in the 'text escape sequences' section. You'll find lots of goodies there you can mess with.

Yeah, I forgot, you need to use &amp;lt; (&lt;) and &amp;gt; (&gt;).
