Changing dialog text size?

[HelloFlighty]

Can you change the size of the text on a dialog button? On my map, you can choose between game modes, and I want to include a sentence as an extremely brief description of the game mode on the buttons, example

"|c00FF0000Blitz|r - Unlimited lives, Tank speed increases with every kill, one shot kills."

Issue is it doesn't fit the button box very well, is there a better way of giving the description?
All help is appreciated.

Have you tried making it go into another row?
You can write in chat what the gamemode is about after they chose or you can create a separate dialog where they can click on any mode to learn what it's about. (just some ideas)

How do you create Rows?

You can add "|n" or just press enter and it will do it, but the button won't expand so there is really no way to put large text inside a button.

There isn't a way to make the text smaller, sadly. But a lot of maps use this alternative: when selecting the game mode, force the player to select a custom unit named "Information", or something similar. For each game mode, create a custom passive ability. Set the tooltip to a brief description of that game mode. Give that "information" unit all those abilities.

That way, the player can quickly hover over each ability to get info on the game modes, and use the dialog to actually select it. As long as you choose good icons and descriptions, it should be pretty intuitive.
