A recurring post from here:
I gotten a sort of pattern to work, but it’s skipping tons of characters without me telling it to.
Here’s an image of what I’m wanting to see with my code:
This is the results that I’m getting:
The codes are very long (and unoptimized, if you want to you can help that as well):

The script where I execute the functions
local testModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ModuleScript)
local new = testModule.SetMainPage(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.InformationHere.Content)
-- ...
new:Scripture(
[[print("Hello World!")
local Test = print("We're testing again")]]
)
new:Execute()
And finding out the root of the problem, it’s skipping the %sText%s=%sprint( entirely.
The output:
14:25:05.952 local Test = print("We're testing again") - Client - ModuleScript:88
14:25:05.999 Test = print("We're testing again") - Client - ModuleScript:88 -- This is the start of where it did a huge skip
