How can I escape \n to show it in the text?
I was trying to double backslash, but it doesn't help.
Code: Select all
convert label:'test\\ntest' test.png
produces
then linebreak and
on the second line.

Your lucky vav as I can not get anything to do with text to work
Can you post your code or PM me a copy so I can see if it works on my server ?
Back to your question; I am not sure what you want to display. Do you want your label to say test \n test ?
Have you tried "test\ntest" instead of 'test\ntest' ?

Yes, I'm trying to display text test\ntest.
I'm using IM 6.2.7 under linux.
I've tried:
Code: Select all
convert label:'test\ntest' test.png
convert label:'test\\ntest' test.png
convert label:"test\ntest" test.png
convert label:"test\\ntest" test.png
convert label:test\ntest test.png
convert label:test\\ntest test.png
In all cases I have linebreak instead of characters '\n'.

I am afraid I can not help then vav.
The only other things I would try are:
1/ test/ntest - thats a laugh as the forum changed & # 4 7 ; to / ( I have added extra spaces to see if it will display )
2/ Try putting 'test\ntest' into a variable and use the variable in the convert comand instead.
