11/09/2020, 4:59 PMYes, but I need to style specific portions of text, like in the middle of a sentence (e.g. changing color) - d

11/09/2020, 4:59 PMI could use separate text objects, but then aligning them will be rather tricky - b

dry-hydrogen-97705
11/09/2020, 5:11 PMFor the current function I'm using...there's some project-specific information, but basically, if the string is delimited by

on segments of the text. It's a bit too long to send over discordsetFormat - b
