Don't worry, I'll be deleting this silly thread after all is said and done, no worries to be had. Also, it's surprisingly difficult to come up with more than 300 junk characters to type in order to text. Hi, I'm words, made of characters, made up of integers in UTF-8 format. Isn't that amazing? I also want to test multiline content here, so here we are, testing multiline content.
Yay multiline content! And now I'm going to put some loren ipsum text in here in order to make it possible to have an even bigger set of texts and see how this does with like 4 or more outputs.
