Labels

Question and category labels can be created with an HTML editor that adds HTML tags to the label. As such, interviewing players must either strip the HTML tags or render them.

Labels also render %n as a newline and require a double %% to render a single %.

Labels support insertion points. The insertion points can be substitutions (that are setup in the routing script), or special characters (that can be used to indicate that the response to a previous question should be substituted). See Label text insertion for more information.
