Using color codes ----------------- The ANSI color codes can be used almost anywhere inside the talker or in the code. All the color codes start with a ^ which is shift-6. If you just want BOLD text you put a caret before the text you want bold and then a caret where you want the boldness to stop. If you want it to go right to the end of the string you are typing an ending caret is NOT necessary. e.g. this is ^bold^ this is ^bold Colors are done with 2 letter codes. They go after your first caret, like you're doing a bold..and then you use the ending caret again where you want the color to stop. e.g. To say "This is blue" in bold blue to everyone. .say ^HBThis is blue^ or ^HBThis is blue since blue is the last word in the sentence To do the same type of write in the code, you may do: write_str(user,"^HBThis is blue^"); The codes are listed as follows: Color Code ------------------------- Low Green LG Low Yellow LY Low Red LR Low Blue LB Low Magenta LM Low White LW Low Cyan LC High Green HG High Yellow HY High Red HR High Blue HB High Magenta HM High White HW High Cyan HC Bold None Blinking BL Underlined UL Reverse Video RV
