ok so bestie, we're in the Allegro 5 API — that's the Allegro reference manual btw, in case you were wondering where you wandered into. And this little cutie is al_draw_multiline_textf, which is exactly what it sounds like: multiline text, but make it formatted. Let's get into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

al_draw_multiline_textf — the Allegro 5 API's formatted, multi-line text-drawing icon 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

void al_draw_multiline_textf(const ALLEGRO_FONT *font,
     ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x, float y, float max_width, float line_height,
     int flags, const char *format, ...)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically: it's formatted text output, using a printf() style format string. That's the whole plot twist — you get the ... variadic magic like printf(), but it draws to your screen instead of your terminal. 💅

And every single other parameter? All of them mean the exact same thing as they do with al_draw_multiline_text(3alleg5). Same font, same color, same x, same y, same max_width, same line_height, same flags. No new rules, no surprises, we love a consistent queen. ✨
