Attention!

First, how can I put a line break in the text string so that the message is on two lines? I tried two separate DrawTextFixed() stmts but they were written on top of one another.

Second, you should add full examples to your help file, please?
DrawTextFixed(string tag, string text, TextPosition textPosition, Color textColor, Font font, Color outlineColor, Color backColor, int opacity)

Third, your reference links to msdn are broken.

Fourth, all I want is the enumeration list of the supported values for those options (Font, etc). Where do I find this and would you add that link to the help file please?

Try add \n at the end of your strings for each line break.

That's embarrassing. I really thought that I'd tried that.

Thanks, Josh!
