[Scilab-users] captions too long

[Tim Wescott]

If I'm writing a paper then I generally put very terse captions or (more
usually) no captions on the plots, then use whatever editor I'm using
(usually Lyx/LaTeX these days) to caption the plot "properly".

However, sometimes I need to email just a plot to someone -- to convey
"see it works!" or "this is how disaster is striking".

Is there a way to put a linefeed into a caption for those times, or a
block of text?
