08:33 Kimapr           hey guys, is there a way to specify multiline values in minetest.conf?
13:20 Calinou          Kimapr: not that I know of :(
13:20 Calinou          maybe you can write \n into strings and they're interpreted?
13:24 ANAND            I think multi-line settings are supported
13:24 ANAND            IIRC, they should be enclosed in triple-"
13:24 ANAND            i.e. """
13:51 rubenwardy       ANAND: not correct
13:51 rubenwardy       Calinou: maybe
14:03 Calinou          ANAND: that's in TOML, not in our .conf format
14:14 Kimapr           I tried triple-"
14:14 Kimapr           It didn't work
14:15 Kimapr           If minetest.conf doesn't have support for multiline settings then how do I set a multiline motd?
14:15 Kimapr           i don't want separate mods for this
14:16 rubenwardy       Have you tried \n?
14:17 rubenwardy       You shouldn't be scared to add or create mods
14:17 rubenwardy       There's no performance impact between 1 mod or 1000 mods
14:17 Calinou          it's a mod that only runs code when a player connects anyway
14:17 rubenwardy       What matters is what those mods do with the API
14:31 Krock            Kimapr: setting = """
14:31 Krock            multiline
14:31 Krock            text
14:31 Krock            """
14:51 rubenwardy       Krock: he already tried that
14:52 Krock            it works for 100% in the server description
15:32 Kimapr           but it didn't in motd
15:32 Kimapr           or.. lemme try
15:33 Krock            or the chat removes newlines, but that's not so nice
15:34 Kimapr           now i got it: I was supposed to make a newline right after the first """
15:35 Kimapr           There ought to be documentation for minetest.conf format

17:56 Calinou          Krock: we should probably add this to the `motd` description in minetest.conf.examplme
17:56 Calinou          this way, server admins can actually discover this feature :)
