Details[edit]

Note that this only appends the new line to the tooltip. It does not update the tooltip's height/width, so that the newly added line initially appears underneath (outside of) the tooltip.

A subsequent call to GameTooltip:Show() will update the tooltip's borders correctly.

Notes[edit]

  • As of WoW 2.0, there is no longer a maximum number of lines.
  • As of 6.0 uses Lua boolean, rather than WoW Boolean (nil or 1) for wrap text setting.
