| DoT supports extensive use of colours. You can colour your room descs, prompts, tells etc.
help color
edit[ 0 - commands.txt]COLORS ANSI ANSI-COLOR COLOURS COLOR-CODES
Syntax: colour
This command is a toggle to turn your ANSI color off and on.
You may also use colour in your texts - the format is like this:
The 'escape character' to specify a colour is the left handed brace '{',
following that you should use one of the following letters,
{R{r red {C{c cyan
{G{g green {Y{y yellow
{B{b blue {W{=? white
{M{m magenta {X{=? clear(reset colour)
{{ { char {S{s silver
{` random {~ tilde character
{# save {^ restore
Use a capital letter for a highlighted version of a colour.
Example: {#{CYay!{^ will give you Yay!
If you want more than one color, you start the color change with {# and
change the other colors within the text. You end it with {^.
Example: I love {`colours. {#{=?Yes, {YI {=?do {Mlove {^them.{=?
I love colours. Yes, I do love them.
Notice that in the above example, the word 'colours' is a random colour,
and the word 'them' is the same colour... this is because the random colour
(made with {`) was saved with the {# code then restored with the {^ code.

| In the more recent Dawn (Q and after) you need to replace { with ` so it would be `B to make the text blue.

| Or you could just use the command
colour prefix <character>
to change the character to any character you want. Though it does not affect dawnftp connections. |
