Center-ising text in miniconsoles

[tarrant]

I'm trying to place some text in the centre of a small miniconsole i made with this.

Code: Select all

echo( "LagConsole", "<center>Lag = " .. x.value .. "</center>")

In the console, it displays <center>Lag = 0.00</centre>.
Am i doing it wrong? If so, how do i set it such that the text is displayed in the centre of my miniconsole?

Edit: I'm using this miniconsole for only this echo, if there's a better way to display it, feel free to correct me. Thanks.

Consoles don't accept html. Demonnic wrote a centering function that he posted here though.

This is the forum post in question.

It's fairly well laid out there, but if you need any help with it, feel free to ask.

Code: Select all

echo("UpTimeConsole", align("Uptime = " .. x.value))

Shows
<white>< chunk of space ><white><white> Uptime = 1.5 days <white><white><chunk of space> |

the left most <white> is where the miniconsole starts, and the pipe is where it ends. The pipe is not really there, i just put it in to show the length of the miniconsole.
I could probably alter it such that therer isn't so much space, but the problem is the <white> that is showing.
Any ideas?

yeah, put the code in a text editor, search for <white> and remove it. I need to make two versions, one for cecho and one for regular echo. Haven't done it yet though. I thought I had a bit about that at the bottom of the forum post I sent, but I could be misremembering.
