# MOTD Formatting Codes
|
|
|
|
If `motd-formatting` is enabled in the config file, you can use special escape codes to easily get bold, coloured,
|
|
italic, and other types of specially-formatted text.
|
|
|
|
Our formatting character is '$', and this followed by specific letters means that the text after it is formatted in the
|
|
given way. Here are the character pairs and what they output:
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Escape | Output
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
$$ | Dollar sign ($)
|
|
$b | Bold
|
|
$c | Color code
|
|
$i | Italics
|
|
$u | Underscore
|
|
$r | Reset
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
## Color codes
|
|
|
|
After the color code (`$c`), you can use square brackets to specify which foreground and background colors to output.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
This line outputs red text:
|
|
`This is $c[red]really cool text!`
|
|
|
|
This line outputs red text with a light blue background:
|
|
`This is $c[red,light blue]22% cooler!`
|
|
|
|
If you're familiar with IRC colors you can also use the raw numbers you're used to:
|
|
`This is $c13pink text`
|
|
|
|
Here are the color names we support, and which IRC colors they map to:
|

In addition, some newer clients can make use of the colour codes 16-98, though they don't have any names assigned. Take
|
|
a look at this table to see which colours these numbers are:
