So, I know how to circumvent this issue, but the method used is... more space-consuming than I'd like. That method being creating new texts with nothing but a line break and a double-quotation ["] in their respective boxes. So you basically have

Edittext$("quote")+"Hello, how are you?"+Edittext$("quote")+" asked John."+Edittext$("br")+Edittext$("quote")+"Good,"+Edittext$("quote")+" replied Bob."
to achieve
"Hello, how are you?" asked John.
"Good," said Bob.
It's a little longer than I think it should be? So I was wondering if there was some other method introduced in MMF2 (I have Developer, if that matters) that I wasn't aware of that could make this simpler. Thanks much.

Yeah, there are better ways.

To get the quotes, simply put two quotes in a row:

"Bob said ""Hello!"""


To get a new line, you can hold control and hit enter to get the string version, or add newline$ to use a more code-like version.

Things like this is why E++ was invented

Well for double quotes, does \" work? It might.

Also, if you want a new line in an expression, just type +NewLine$+ (e.g. "This is a"+NewLine$+"new line.")
