Showing help on 'ANSI'
This ANSI system was written and designed by Don Schwarz <darkowl@mcs.net> aka Dark_Owl. It is composed of an ANSI Player Class ($ansi_pc), an ANSI utility package ($ansi_utils), an ANSI help database ($ansi_help), and an ANSI option database ($ansi_options).It converts ANSI 'codes', which are composed of a word surrounded by brackets ([]'s), into ANSI sequences which are recognized by most terminal programs and are used to display text in certain colors, underlined, inverse, and to make text blink. Not all terminal programs support ANSI though so this will not work for everyone.
You can put these ANSI codes in your descriptions, messages, mails, programs, and virtually anything else that is eventually sent through $player:notify(). See 'help ansi-codes' for a list of valid ANSI codes.
The ANSI PC is controlled with the @ansi-options command, see "help @ansi-options" for more information on it.
