OSC - why are monitor values shown in 'quotes'?

This is surely a noob question, but, well...I'm a bit of a noob
I've noticed that all my monitor values are shown with single quote symbols (i.e., '-0.5 dB', 'FX Param 1', etc.). Obviously, I'd like to remove these.
Anybody know why they're there?
For a bit of background...I'm designing a master control surface for Reaper. It's coming together in bits and pieces
but when it's done, I can't wait to share it!

I don't believe any of us have found a way to have straight text show up in the Monitor display area without quotes.ishaan wrote:This is surely a noob question, but, well...I'm a bit of a noob

Numbers are fine (as you see, and numbers with some arbitrary units (like dB) show up fine as well.
The other way to have text/labels dynamically set on screen is to use the Text object. You have to use the setattribute() function to change the text value, but it does display without quotes.
