hmmm ...

I may have been wrong on the version that first included multiline text objects.

You can see the result at the link below.

        http://octave.sourceforge.net/octave/function/text.html

The 3rd demo includes multiline text. Does the line below display that demo?

        demo ("text", 3)

If not the multiline text was added later.
