pueblo00000000.gif xch_mudtext

Text from non-HTML muds is formatted specially by the Pueblo client. This formatting includes converting line ends to <br> tags, using a fixed-width font, etc. Also, HTML tags seen in muds not known to generate HTML are ignored. To cause HTML interpretation to begin, the HTML session must issue a </xch_mudtext> tag. To turn off HTML interpretation, issue a <xch_mudtext>.

This tag is identical to <pre>, except that text is wrapped within the display boundaries.

Examples

For example, in a predominantly non-HTML system, you could do the following to make a word bold:

This </xch_mudtext><b>word</b><xch_mudtext> is bold.

Note that the logic of xch_mudtext is somewhat reversed from most HTML tags, in that the first one you issue is a </xch_mudtext>. This is because the Pueblo client puts a <xch_mudtext> at the top of the session. Your </xch_mudtext> ends that HTML style, then your <xch_mudtext> begins that style again.
