TOPIC

NAME
        colour - Put colour on the texts from the MUD.


DESCRIPTION
        This document deals with the more technical side of the colour
        implementation; there is a help page available on the mortal side
        that you should read before this.

	The current implementation on colours is two-fold; there is an
        ansi-colour implementation, and there is a meta-implementation.

	There colour is applied to the texts based on class. There is a set
        of classes implemented, and they are all implemented in the
        lib. The player decides on what colour each class should have. There
        are at the time of writing no user-defined classes.

	The meta-implementation isn't fixed and might change at anytime
        without any warning. At the time of writing, it is implemented as
        html-like pair of tags,  and .
	Those are for use by a
        programmable client, whcih can colour texts better, perhaps using all
        the colours available in the window manager. This could be used for
	triggering sounds etc, too.
