So, attempting my first interactive story here and I'm having some trouble with the formatting. Is there a way I can get text to always be at the top of the page without white spaces occurring when I'm using variables? Like in this bit here. Each line gets progressively lower on the page each time it cycles and it bugs the heck out of me. The space between the text and the links is intentional, but having each one shift down by a line isn't.
(if: $sleepvar is 0)[
[...]<var|]
(if: $sleepvar is 1)[ Beedlebeedlebeep. Beedlebeedle beep.
[Zzz...snrt...?]<var|]
(if: $sleepvar is 2)[ Beedlebeedlebeep. Beedlebeedle beep.
[Gwuh? Wha?]<var|]
(if: $sleepvar is 3)[ Beedlebeedlebeep. Beedlebeedle beep.

(click: ?var)[(set: $sleepvar to $sleepvar + 1)(goto: "...")]

The extra lines are due to you adding line-breaks between parts of your passage contents, and there are two things you can do to reduce them.
1. Wrap content within a set of {} curly braces, they will remove some of the line-breaks from the content within them:
2. Manually remove the extra line-breaks:
Thanks for the help though!

And is there a way to get Harlowe to look like Sugarcube? I like the look but think writing the actual code and stuff in Harlowe is easier.
