[2.0.71] Rich Text line breaks in LocalisedStrings (label caption)

[hgschmie]

I have a localised string that looks like this: open_gui_shift=Open GUI\n[font=default-semibold][color=128,206,240]Shift:[/color][/font] Open location on map

When I use this text as a tooltip, it renders like this:

but when I use it as a caption for a label, it renders like this:

and I have not found a way to make that caption to render the line break correctly. I found a bunch of messages from the 0.15 era that says "text barely works, no new lines supported". Is that still the case? If yes, consider this a feature request.

Does the label's style has this property set to false? https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... ingle_line

unrelated to the maybe formatting bug, but you might be interested in __CONTROL_MODIFIER__name__ instead of hard-coding shift. And/or __CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__ and __CONTROL_STYLE_END__ instead of the font and color.

Thanks. Appreciate you pointing those out. This is such a big API, I always learn new things.
