Quick question about multiline...
Hey all...
So, I think that I have some of the basics for flow charting down. I have one decided not to use the flow text as it seemed too difficult to work with right now. I am currently using a combination of a text object and a shape from the openclipart program to make my shapes. Now I have run into the case where I can not seem to get a carriage return in my text box's. I have included the file, since XML is nice and small, so that you may see what I mean. Several of my decision points could be expanded into two lines. I do not want to have to make generic decision points for single and two line entities. Can anybody give me a little assistance here or have I explained this in such a perverse way that I have confused everybody?

Works for me. I unlock the Flowchart Symbols layer, click on any text object, and I can type Enter to add a second line. Can you describe what precisely is not working?
Possibly since I was editing the text in the XML editor. That might be it.... Yhea, that was it. Should it be that way? I mean if you put a carriage return in the XML file should it not be propagated to the object the whole way?

No. SVG does not work like this. We have to create separate lines as <tspan>s, each absolutely positioned. This is the only way to create multiline text in SVG 1.1.
