Non-alphanumeric characters in ASCII art

Post by Nylo » Sun Mar 24, 2013 5:27 pm

Quick question! What characters, if any, will I need to escape in an item long desc with ASCII art? And if there are any, is it a standard backslash?

Are you asking which characters you cannot use? If so, the only one you cannot use is a tilde (which will signify in code that the description is over).

I'd figured that, just didn't know if there were any more! Thanks!
