Hi folks,

I am a neubourne VASSAL user, attempting to use it to develop and test new games. Most of our designs use LOTS of cards, many with fairly wordy descriptions of in-game events. Is there a way to display a block of text, without doing individual textlabels for each line? My apologies for the n00b question…

Thanks!!

You should be able to input some (very limited) HTML for labels. Try  
wrapping your text like this:

Blah blah blah blah.
