<summary>"Bars" are not animated (by choice)</summary>

“Bars” in texts (`strikethroughs` **and** `underlines`) are not animated by choice.

(Here is how animated bars look like. Since they’re not that good-looking, it’s been chosen to keep them static.)

<summary>Removing tags when uninstalling the package</summary>

As known, if you uninstall this package you must remove all this plugin’s tags manually from your dialogues.

👍🏻 If you’re worried about this *for any reason,* **you could set the plugin to use ‘fallback effects’** only (which are applied **to the entirety of the text** without requiring any tag) and everything will be left untouched in case you remove the plugin. Yay!

<summary>Using [br]</summary>

You can’t erase or replace *parts* of the text midtime.

❌ Some tags (e.g.  `[br]` for newline) are currently not supported

❌ Backspaces (e.g. , `\b` ) are currently not supported

✔️ You can erase/change/replace the **entire** text midtime, and/or hide specific parts of the text.
