[2021] [Gameplay]How does the ManiaLink UI Mediatracker block work?

For example, when I enter the following in the script window I get "hello world" displayed in the center of the screen:
Code:

declare Text AnyVariableName = """

""";

What I would like to do, specifically, is create dynamics in the display using embedded maniascript. However, when I enter the following into the script window:
Code:

declare Text AnyVariableName = """


""";

I would expect the script to display the text "the script ran" but instead I see only "hello world" which indicates to me that the script did not run. Are
