Hey everyone, hope this isnt a bad place to post this but anyway;

I was watching a live stream today and noticed that someone had their overview setup in such a way that when they clicked on a player ship in space, it showed the ship labels on two lines like this:

Player Name
Ship Type, Alliance, Corp

I've been experimenting with my overview's .yaml file in notepad++ but i can't seem to make the info appear in two lines / mulltiple paragraphs. Mine has always been on one line like this:

Player Name, Ship Type, Alliance, Corp

This is an example of what i'm on about, notice how there are three paragraphs, four if you count distance. Mind you the one i saw today was as I said just two lines which is all I want, just the name up top.
Click me

I was wondering if someone can tell me what i need to do / how to do it to the .yaml file in order to get multiple paragraphs like this?

Cheers

P.S i've seen some old converted .xml files that look way different, my .yaml file looks like this one does Click Me

So many wonderful things you can do with coding for the overview.

Takes a bit of coding work. Its fairly old and fully supported.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Eh, it isn't really coding, just HTML tags.
In order to get it to stick you have to export your overview, find the relevant tags, and add HTML. Then you reimport it and it works. Unlike the overview tabs, adding HTML to the ingame menu doesn't generally work.

Cheers dude, found a link inside one of those to this excellent program http://www.iciclesoft.com/eveonline/

Works great :D merges with your current overview settings too.
