Package ircfmt handles IRC formatting codes, escaping and unescaping.
This allows for a simpler representation of strings that contain colour codes,
bold codes, and such, without having to write and handle raw bytes when
assembling outgoing messages.
This lets you turn raw IRC messages into our escaped versions, and turn escaped
versions back into raw messages suitable for sending on IRC connections. This
is designed to be used on things like PRIVMSG / NOTICE commands, MOTD blocks,
and such.
The escape character we use in this library is the dollar sign ("$"), along
with the given escape characters:
--------------------------------
Name | Escape | Raw
--------------------------------
Dollarsign | $$ | $
Bold | $b | 0x02
Colour | $c | 0x03
Monospace | $m | 0x11
Reverse Colour | $v | 0x16
Italic | $i | 0x1d
Strikethrough | $s | 0x1e
Underscore | $u | 0x1f
Reset | $r | 0x0f
--------------------------------
Colours are escaped in a slightly different way, using the actual names of them
rather than just the raw numbers.
In our escaped format, the colours for the fore and background are contained in
square brackets after the colour ("$c") escape. For example:
Red foreground:
Escaped: This is a $c[red]cool message!
Raw: This is a 0x034cool message!
Blue foreground, green background:
Escaped: This is a $c[blue,green]rad message!
Raw: This is a 0x032,3rad message!
When assembling a raw message, we make sure to use the full colour code
("02" vs just "2") when it could become confused due to numbers just after the
colour escape code. For instance, lines like this will be unescaped correctly:
No number after colour escape:
Escaped: This is a $c[red]cool message!
Raw: This is a 0x034cool message!
Number after colour escape:
Escaped: This is $c[blue]20% cooler!
Raw: This is 0x030220% cooler
Here are the colour names and codes we recognise:
--------------------
Code | Name
--------------------
00 | white
01 | black
02 | blue
03 | green
04 | red
05 | brown
06 | magenta
07 | orange
08 | yellow
09 | light green
10 | cyan
11 | light cyan
12 | light blue
13 | pink
14 | grey
15 | light grey
99 | default
--------------------
These other colours aren't given names:
