====== Text (DED) ======

Defines a text string.

Do not change the order of existing Text definitions; always add new
definitions to the end of the list. This is because Games access strings
using the index numbers of the strings, and the indices are assigned based
on the order of the Text definitions.

  Text
  {
     ID = "DD_STRNG";
     Text = "Example string";
  }


===== Syntax =====

==== ID ====
Identifier of the text string.

==== Text ====
The string itself. Backslash (\) is used as an escape
character: \n = newline. Quotes (") must be escaped or the
parser will think the string ends ("Say \"Hello!\""). The
string can be divided onto multiple lines, in which case the
parser will skip to the first non-space character of the
next line when it encounters an end of line. For example
the following two strings are identical:

  "This is a long
     string?"
  
  "This is a longstring?"

The escape sequence ''\_'' translates to a normal space
character, so these two strings are also identical:

  "This is another long
      \_string."
  
  "This is another long string."
