TEXTFILE SUBSTITUTIONS


These %-variables can be inserted into help files, the banner, the MOTD,
and other text files. There are four variables that can be used to
format text:

  ----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  %b          display bold
  %v          display inverse
  %_          display underline
  %f          display flashing via telnet; bold underline via IRC
  ----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These variables will be interpreted by Eggdrop and replaced by their
respective values:

  ------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  %B                 bot's nickname (i.e. "LamestBot")
  %V                 current Eggdrop version (i.e. "eggdrop v1.9.0")
  %E                 long form of %V (i.e. "Eggdrop v1.9.0 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads Development Team")
  %C                 channels the bot is on (i.e. "#lamest, #botnetcentral")
  %A                 whatever is set in the config file by 'set admin'
  %n                 whatever is set in the config file by 'set network'
  %T                 the current time (i.e. "15:00")
  %N                 the current user's nickname (i.e. "Robey")
  %U                 the current operating system the bot is running on
  %%                 a percent sign ("%")
  ------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also encode messages which can only be read by people with
certain flags:

  %{+m} Only masters would see this. %{-}

  %{+A} Only people with the user flag A see this. %{-}

  %{+b} This is only displayed to users doing a remote '.motd' from
  another bot. %{-}

  %{+|m} Only channel masters would see this. %{-}

Other variables:

+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| %{cols=N}   |   start splitting output into N columns                 |
+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| %{cols=N/W} |   same as above, but use a screen width of W            |
+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| %{end}      |   end columnated or restricted (i.e. %{+m}) block       |
+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| %{center}   |   center the following text (70 columns)                |
+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
