ANSI EXAMPLE

In MUME you can use the ANSI SGR escape sequences in your character description, whois, or board posts. The MUME line-editor will however have problems handling these codes since it will not support the <esc> character that's needed.

A simple explanation and some examples:

The ANSI SGR sequences use this format:

  <esc>[<attribute>m

where <attribute> is a number between 0 and 9.

The ANSI colour codes are always used as follows:

  <esc>[<attribute><colour>m

where <attribute> is either 3 (foreground) or 4 (background) and <colour> is a number between 0 and 7.

You can also combine two or more styles (and/or colours) to get the wanted colour and style by separating the numbers with ;.

Example: bold (1) white (37) text on blue background (44) like this

  <esc>[1;37;44m

Or you can just go ballistic and make up funny little Christmas-trees like this

  Norway beat
  Brazil 2-1 in the
  France -98
  Soccer World Cup
