I am suddenly unable to center a line of text on a page of a book. I was using the PosterScroll object with parch3 book art, though I have since tried parch and parch2 as well. I've tried using ParchEd and just doing it by hand, but no matter how many spaces I indent the text (using the space bar), it always remains justified to the left margin. Other lines of text are being moved from the left margin, but not the first line, or title, which is what I want centered. I've opened it in Notepad++ and checked for any special characters, page breaks, End of Line symbols, etc. but all that is there are the expected End of Line symbols at the end of each line of text.
For reference, it should look like this:
[INDENT]TITLE[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Subtitle[/INDENT]
Body text...
But instead it looks like this:
TITLE
[INDENT]Subtitle[/INDENT]
Body text...
The subtitle can be moved over from the left margin, though I haven't managed to get it centered yet, but the title will not budge from the left margin.
I tried using a book object and changing the model name to match the open scroll, and that didn't work either. I tried using the PBOOK book art on the scroll, but that just crashed dromed.
I've centered text countless times in the past and have never run into any such thing. I'm hoping someone has some ideas.

I don't know. But you might insert some funny looking ANSI Code characters to move the text.
Code:
```````MyText```````

I usually just add a dot as the first character then add spaces to move the text to the center.
It would basically look like this.

Both good suggestions, thanks. I'll probably resort to one, but wish I knew what was causing this. Never saw it before.

Unna, I´d like to have these characters for Spanish:
ü
¿
¡
Can you do it for me?

It's not up to Unna, it's a question of whether or not the book font supports them.
Unna Oertdottir on 13/11/2019 at 17:51
Supported are the (
http://ascii-table.com/ascii.php) ANSI characters 1-127 (standard ASCII) and the (
http://ascii-table.com/ansi-codes.php) extended character set (128-255)
means, you can also have other characters as usual. This works for example
Code:
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ MyText ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
But some others won't work. Just try it.

If you have only one page in your book you could create a new book with the centered text added directly to the book image.

It would be easier and use less resources to place the text as a decal on a blank page, wouldn't it?
Tannar on 15/11/2019 at 16:46
Either of those would work, yes. But this is for the update of The Scarlet Cascabel, and we're still sticking with the original contest rules. Just cause, lol.
