Value1 equals value2 is how I spelled value1 == value2, back over in the Category tab. Please fix the spelling, if you're enough more Wiki literate than I to know how.

The == operator needs an example.

Working with the dataserver event I discovered that "\n" within a string taken from a notecard is not read by for example llSetText() as a new line.

Assuming "data" was a string such as "Douglas Adams,High on a rocky promontory\nsat an Electric Monk on a bored horse." is presented as "High on a rocky promontory\nsat an Electric Monk on a bored horse." <lsl> default {

   dataserver(key id, string data)
   {
       llSetText(llList2String(llCSV2List(data),1), <1.0,1.0,1.0>, 1.0);
   }

} </lsl> Whereas <lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSetText("High on a rocky promontory\nsat an Electric Monk on a bored horse.", <1.0,1.0,1.0>, 1.0);
   }

} </lsl> is presented as "High on a rocky promontory

          sat an Electric Monk on a bored horse." as one would expect.
