text.count_lines
In a flow
“Works out count lines whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
3 lines, 2 not empty
What it does
How many lines text has, how many are not empty, and the longest one. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: how many lines text has, how many are not empty, and the longest one.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.

What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
