		+	== Writing texts ==
		+	There are multiple ways to write texts: the write() function, write_xxx() functions and the write_in_map() function. With the first two, some the [[global variable]] [[text_z]] is important and with all three of them, the following are important:
		+	* The functions [[set_text_color]]() and [[get_text_color]]()
		+	* The [[font]]
		+	* The [[alignment]]
		+	* The global variable [[text_flags]]
