# Text Formatting

## Wooble Text

*Wooble Text* is the internal name for a variety of special text formatting effects that produce different wobbling effects on the text output. Wooble Text works in [Text Boxes ](/etg-modding-guide/text-text-boxes-etc/textboxes.md#types-of-text-box)and [Panels](/etg-modding-guide/text-text-boxes-etc/textboxes.md#panels).

<table><thead><tr><th width="136">Formatting</th><th width="397">Explanation</th><th align="center">Example</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:red;">{w}</mark></td><td>Ends a wooble text segment, IE: <mark style="color:red;">{wj}Lorem ipsum{w}</mark>. Has no effect on its own.</td><td align="center"><img src="/files/IF1iVwtK1EkgD9QXdMT9" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:red;">{ws}</mark></td><td>Starts a wooble text segment wherein all text raises and lowers simultaneously. Example: <mark style="color:red;">{ws}Lorem ipsum{w}</mark>.</td><td align="center"><img src="/files/vbMTDgwsjhjFqWPosBte" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:red;">{wq}</mark></td><td>Starts a wooble text segment wherein all text raises and lowers in a smooth wave pattern. Example: <mark style="color:red;">{wq}Lorem ipsum{w}</mark>.</td><td align="center"><img src="/files/DdI42vBqNQRLaEJ9qry7" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:red;">{wr}</mark></td><td>Starts a wooble text segment wherein each letter raises and lowers at its own rate. Example: <mark style="color:red;">{wr}Lorem ipsum{w}</mark>.</td><td align="center"><img src="/files/TREK7ATHFTnqDi1qhD0w" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:red;">{wj}</mark></td><td>Starts a wooble text segment wherein each letter jitters irregularly. Example: <mark style="color:red;">{wj}Lorem ipsum{w}</mark>.</td><td align="center"><img src="/files/ZTCi1fTbtbEgsM20Bq3z" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:red;">{wb}</mark></td><td>Starts a wooble text segment wherein all text raises and lowers in a smooth wave pattern. In addition, text within this wooble segment will flash rainbow colours. Example: <mark style="color:red;">{wb}Lorem ipsum{w}</mark>.</td><td align="center"><img src="/files/hsBe2ROryHffbsFMCGGT" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Notes

* <mark style="color:red;">{wb}</mark> Wooble Text is bugged, and requires the player to visit the Breach at least once before the rainbow colours will apply. This means that if the player quick-starts a run from the intro cutscene, any <mark style="color:red;">{wb}</mark> wooble text will look identical to <mark style="color:red;">{wq}</mark> wooble text.

## Token Inserts

Token inserts are little sprites that can be inserted into text as part of the string. Different types of currency, pickups, and especially controller buttons are handled here. Token inserts can be used in [Text Boxes ](/etg-modding-guide/text-text-boxes-etc/textboxes.md#types-of-text-box)and [Panels](/etg-modding-guide/text-text-boxes-etc/textboxes.md#panels).

The <mark style="color:purple;">\\</mark> character is used to prevent <mark style="color:red;">"</mark> characters from ending the string prematurely when used in code.
