Correct way to use multiline text for labels and such in kv.

[kent nyberg]

Sorry if the topic is a bit unclear.

I may get into it from the wrong angle, but what if I want a label thats easier to be put in multiple lines in
the kv file?
Python as such seems to use

label = """this is line 1,
this is line 2"""


Correct?


The same usage in a kv files gives an error about object not having attribute __getitem__?


Take for example a label as such:


Label:
Text: """this is line 1
this is line 2"""


This does not work. So there must be a better way right?

Sorry,

Keep string on one line:

Label:
    text: 'This is line 1.\n This is line 2'

You should look at the text_align example in the examples dir,  you need to set `text_size`, and halign/valign.

Using 

Label:
    text: 'This is line 1.\\n This is line 2'

Worked for me. (Escape the backslash)
