## drawText.lua

These functions handle drawing and hiding styled on-screen prompts or UI overlays, compatible with different styling frameworks such as OX Lib.

* `input` (`string`): The main text to display.
* `style` (`string|table`): Preset or custom styling.
* `oxStyleTable` (`table`, optional): Extended style options if using OX UI.
