..... or new line
The docs have \r and \n outputs to the message window, but I don't know how
to put in a new line in the rendering window.  This code from the docs
renders nicely,

#include "colors.inc"
  camera {   location <0, 1, -10>   look_at <2,0,0>   angle 35  }
  light_source { <500,500,-1000> White }
  plane {   y,-3  pigment { checker Green White } }
  text {   ttf "timrom.ttf" "POV-RAY 3.10" 1, 0   pigment { Red } }

but I'd like to have the "3.10" below the "POV-RAY" without doing some fancy
tranlation.
thanks
Tony

You have to do the translation for each text string.

You can't. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a macro to 
handle this job automatically.
