Hi there,

I am working on an Addon for ElvUI and have a text box being added to display text to the screen. I attempted to simply plug in a code such as [level] but the addon does not automatically parse it as ElvUI does for its datatexts.

Can someone point me in the right direction to learn/accomplish integrating this feature?

Thanks in advance.

[level] is a tag that can be used on Unitframes not for Datatexts. So, you want it to behave as a Datatext?

Basically what the addon does is insert custom frames onto the screen, then displays a custom text string as well. The string can be anything such as "Hi There" or I want it to also accept unitframe tags such as [level]

What you are trying to accomplish with tags to display on a custom frame.. requires a bit of work and alot of code dive.
It's not as easy as you are making it out to be.

WeakAuras can accomplish what you are trying to write and most people use that already.
