1481 - Exported multi-line phrases do not parse in WAR
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a phrase with multiple lines
2. Export the phrase as a simple table, shown as a table
3. Copy the output
4. Prepend "test=" and paste the output at the top of a file in an active mod
5. Reload the WAR UI
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the exporter to give output that parses. L"Line1\nLine2\Line3" would be acceptable, for instance.
I get output that the WAR LUA engine doesn't understand: L[=[Line1
Line2
Line3]=]
