In-text tags parsed by Evennia

• Colors
  • ANSI colours
  • Xterm256 Colours
• Clickable links
  • Click to run a command
  • Click to open an url in a web browser
  • Settings
• Inline functions

Evennia will parse various special tags and markers embedded in text and convert it dynamically depending on if the data is going in or out of the server.

• Colors - Using |r, |n etc can be used to mark parts of text with a color. The color will become ANSI/XTerm256 color tags for Telnet connections and CSS information for the webclient.

  > say Hello, I'm wearing my |rred hat|n today. 
  

• Clickable links - This allows you to provide a text the user can click to execute an in-game command. This is on the form |lc command |lt text |le. Clickable links are generally only parsed in the outgoing direction, since if users could provde them, they could be a potential security problem. To activate, MXP_ENABLED=True must be added to settings (disabled by default).

  py self.msg("This is a |c look |ltclickable 'look' link|le")
  

• FuncParser callables - These are full-fledged function calls on the form $funcname(args, kwargs) that lead to calls to Python functions. The parser can be run with different available callables in different circumstances. The parser is run on all outgoing messages if settings.FUNCPARSER_PARSE_OUTGOING_MESSAGES_ENABLED=True (disabled by default).
