    All the quotes are in the random_quotes.js file. You can change them to anything you want.

    A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

          @geeflaxx you need to write it down like this

          {
              module: 'random_quotes',
              position: 'lower_third',
              config: {
                  updateIntervall: 500,
                  fadeSpeed: 4,
                  category: 'random'
              }
          }
          

          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                Can’t. It’s a single line each time.

                  @KirAsh4 Couldn’t @geeflaxx insert a <br> inside all quotes? Would be a lot of manual work though.

                    That’s what I was thinking as well. After all it is just text in a <div> isn’t it?

                      Actually, yes you could. Basically any HTML tag would (should?) work. I did a ‘split’ on a key character so I can apply two different styles, one on the quote, and one on the author. Slightly different approach.
