Chat formatting

The markup works in the room chat, in private conversations, in the /leave farewell and in the room’s welcome message. For everyday use, see Chat.

You type It shows
_italic_ italic
**bold** or __bold__ bold
*action* ●action●, the character’s action, highlighted
"speech" “speech”, with curly quotes
--speech-- — speech —. Without the closing --, the speech runs to the end of the line
((comment)) 【comment】, out of character
{O}nce upon a time the O as a large drop cap. Only at the start of the message
# Heading (up to ######) a heading, on a line of its own
---, *** or ___ a separator line, on a line of its own, at the start or after a blank line
https://… a link, which opens in another tab
@Luana a mention: Luana hears a sound and sees the notice, even with the room in the background
  • _ in the middle of a word does not become italic: file_name_here stays as it is.
  • A blank line separates paragraphs; Shift + Enter breaks the line.
  • Mentions work with the account name and with the nickname in the room.

The codes between [§ and ] turn styles on and off in the middle of the text. They are what the message box’s Bold, Italic, Underline and Text color buttons write.

Code What it does
[§B] turns bold on or off
[§T] turns italic on or off
[§U] turns underline on or off
[§S] turns strikethrough on or off
[§K4] changes the text color: a palette number, #rrggbb or a color name (gold)
[§K4,1] changes the text color and the background color
[§K] back to the normal colors
[§R] swaps the text color with the background’s
[§O] turns everything off
[§I https://…] shows the image at that address

The letters can be lowercase ([§b]). A code that does not exist stays in the text, as written. For example, [§B]Watch out:[§B] the bridge is [§K4]falling[§O] gives “Watch out: the bridge is falling”.

The numbers for [§K]. The Text color button offers the first 16 (0 to 15).

The shortcuts become emoji when they stand alone, between spaces. The word shortcuts are in Portuguese, the same in every language.

Pasted emoji (from your phone’s keyboard or from Windows, with Win + .) work too.

In Settings → Chat → Message formatting, each person chooses how other people’s markup shows up for them: headings (#), separators (---), emoji and the drop cap. Whoever turns one off sees the text as it was written.
