Me again with another question! (sorry!)

I know in the rules it says repeat text via scripting doesn't count towards the word limit but what about the opposite?
I have text in game that is identical but I will need to write it in my code twice to have different font styles.
Context: text will be regular and still if the players have kept MC calm but a bold, shaking version will appear of the same line if they have made poor choices.
"oh no" vs "oh no" would I need to count this as 2 words or 4 words for the total count?

If I need to add both versions to the total do I also need to do that if the 2nd version exists for accessibility? (one line of code for shaking version shown in game, another for regular text if kinetic text is turned off)

thanks again! ^^

Hello, it'd be cool if you were able to do this styling using variables. I know this is possible to do with Ink, and I've been told that with Ren'Py this should be possible. I don't know what you're using though. So please do try first.

However, if you can't achieve it that way then we would allow this as an exception, as it's the same text.

Okay will do!!! o7
thanks again :)
