CURRENTLY BROKEN

As I said below, I have stopped updating Scripture. A recent GM update broke the parsing of tags and it, supposedly is fixable, but I haven't actually fixed it. So any issues you encounter are your responsibility to fix at this point. I'm going to Open Source Scripture at some point in the future, and then the community can deal with my horrible code.

End of Support Announcement (Oct 2nd, 2023)</h2>

As I've been taking a step back from Game Dev over the course of the last year, I've finally decided it's time to cease formal updates on my assets. They will now be free to use, but will receive no further features, bug fixes, or any changes at all. Enjoy them for as long as they continue to work in GM, and thanks for all the support over the years.

Easy to use, highly compatible text renderer for GameMaker Studio 2.3 (or later).

If you are curious about Scripture but want to know more, check out the in-progress documentation. Feel free to leave comments or ask questions in the forums below or on the document itself.
