Hello it is possible to add a new line when adding text to the process shape? I ask because I am currently creating flowcharts to help explain programming code and would like to have the first line of the process object be the file name and function followed by a new line character.

 

Example text

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

|              index.js run() (NEWLINE IS HERE)                  |

|    The run function parses the configuration file             |

|    and stores in a variable named config The config      |      

|    variable is passed to the launch function and a            |

|    new process is created.                                               |

---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Currently when I press enter the cursor focuses outside the process object. Thank you in advance for your response

Hi James

Thanks for reaching out. If you would like to move down a line in a shape then you can hold shift and then press enter (shift+enter). That will move the cursor down a line so that you can add text underneath the first line. Please reach out if you have any further questions.
