papirus-write parsing line break \n

[jarrah31]

I know that PapirusTextPos will take into account \n as a line break using the following example:

text.AddText("hello\nworld", 10, 20, Id="Start" )

However if I use papirus-write, \n just appears within the text on the display.

papirus-write.py "hello\nWorld"

Is there a workaround by any chance please?

Thanks.

The '\n' is not converted by the shell (bash).
This works:
papirus-write $'hello\nWorld'
See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3005963/how-can-i-have-a-newline-in-a-string-in-sh
Note: you need to use single quotes after the '$', double quotes do not work.

Ahh of course, thank you!
