  Also, if I use the text_display form, every time I use a line break, the line ends with ▯ (missing character white rectangle).
  I've tried formatting the text with HTML
  as well, and it only gets weirder. See images for example

  I'm attempting to follow the video tutorial, but it makes heavy use of the text_render, and I don't seem to have that plugin.

  The form_text_render plug-in is not included with the Windows packages, but you can easily get functionality that you need. One option would be to copy form_text_render from the plugins folder in the source code to the plug-in folder of your OpenSesame installation:

  • https://github.com/smathot/OpenSesame
  • http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/plug-ins/installation/

  Another option would be to make the form_text_display plug-in behave the way you want. Basically, what you can do is edit the script by clicking on the edit-script button in the top right and remove the widget that corresponds to the OK button. Then you add the line set only_render yes to make the form 'non interactive' (i.e. you see it but it doesn't wait for user input). You will get something like this:

  set rows "1;4;1"
  set form_title "<span size=24>Title</span>"
  set cols "1;1;1"
  set form_text "Your message"
  set ok_text "Ok"
  set only_render yes
  widget 0 0 3 1 label text="[form_title]"
  widget 0 1 3 1 label center="no" text="[form_text]"

  Also, if I use the text_display form, every time I use a line break, the line ends with ▯ (missing character white rectangle).

  Yes, that's a known issue. It will be fixed for 2.8.1, which is a bugfix release that will come out soon.

  Cheers!

  OK, I was able to copy all the coding and create the plugin from the link you provided. Looks it's all working well. Thanks!
