Looking at the scripting API i found wl.ui.show_messagebox. Does this message box support wl.richtext? I have tried that but the result looks it doesn't support that... It would be nice if this box would also support richtext. Attachment: Top Quote

Try surrounding the text with `<rt>...</rt>`. Lua also has a function rt() for this. Top Quote

" to " .. sec_x.."/"..sec_y, <rt>p("hello")</rt>, false)` Results in : `[/home/kaputtnik/Quellcode/widelands-repo/v1.2/src/scripting/lua_errors.cc:21] /home/kaputtnik/lua_Scripts/count_caps.lua:68: unexpected symbol near '<'` And: `wl.ui.show_messagebox( "Statistic for area: ".. first_x .."/".. first_y .. " to " .. sec_x.."/"..sec_y, rt(p("hello")), false)` Results in a crash and the error: `[00:20:15.523 real] ERROR: FATAL EXCEPTION in editor: Syntax error at 1:65: expected an allowed tag, got 'rt'. String continues with: '<rt><p><font face=sans size=12 color=ffff00>hello</font><vspace gap=6></p></rt></font></p></rt>'` Yes, `richtext.lua` is included. Top Quote

" to " .. sec_x.."/"..sec_y, p("hello"), false)` Top Quote

The last example (`rt(p("hello"))`) is correct. One-liner bugfix PR: https://codeberg.org/wl/widelands/pulls/4587 Top Quote
