When writing on a journal, you need not specify any parameters when using this command.


Special Codes

  • You may use the Color Codes to add color to your texts.
  • Only one special affect may be applied at a time.
    • You may not combine a background and a foreground color in your texts.
    • You may need to experiment with the ^N, ^? and ^. terminators to ensure your text displays correctly and doesn't bleed into the next view.

Other special codes that may be used in writings:

Code Effect Notes
^N Return to normal color. Ends all special color affects, returning to the default white.
^? Restores previous color This will end the last special character encoding. This has a similar affect to ^N, unless there was more than one special color in place. This symbol will also clear an underline or italics affect.
^. Reset Turns off background color, italics and underline.
^! Bold Will change to the bright color of your current text. No effect if already using the bright color.
^_ Underline
^/ Italics
^H Highlight This is a limited version of text color.
^* Blink Does not work on modern clients or browsers, and is very annoying if it does work. Using this code on some MUDs will get you banned.
%0D Carriage Return Useful for starting new paragraphs and in making tables. NOTE: This is percent zero capital-D.
%20 Non-breaking Space Useful for creating extra space between characters.

Notes

  • Writing proficiency affects the end result of the written text.
  • Writing proficiency is also checked for Embroidering and Engraving skills.
  • If you are speaking in a different language when you write on a blank item, then that item will be written in the language you are speaking, and only understandable by others who speak that language. Items may only be written in a single language, which will be determined by the first language used.
  • If you do not have your ANSI enabled, you won't be able to see colors, but other readers with ANSI enabled will.
