EQInterface Forums - View Single Post - A way to handle varying length text

I'd love to be able to have text be positioned at a different location depending on the length of another item. For instance, I'd like to be able to set this up:

EQTYPE=74, " ", EQTYPE=1, " ", EQTYPE=73, " (", EQTYPE=3, ")"

So it would display as:

Baron Grima Wormtongue (Sorcerer)

Right now, without knowing the length of each item, the best you can do is leave some space between items, so you'll end up with big gaps between shorter length text, and either overlap or cut off longer text.

The easiest way I can think of for them to add this functionality would be to create a way to combine multiple pieces (static text and/or eqtypes) into one label item.
