# MOTD Formatting Codes
If `motd-formatting` is enabled in the config file, you can use special escape codes to
easily get bold, coloured, italic, and other types of specially-formatted text.
Our formatting character is '$', and this followed by specific letters means that the text
after it is formatted in the given way. Here are the character pairs and what they output:
--------------------------
Escape | Output
--------------------------
$$ | Dollar sign ($)
$b | Bold
$c | Color code
$i | Italics
$u | Underscore
$r | Reset
--------------------------
## Color codes
After the color code (`$c`), you can use square brackets to specify which foreground and
background colors to output. For example:
This line outputs red text:
`This is $c[red]really cool text!`
This line outputs red text with a light blue background:
`This is $c[red,light blue]22% cooler!`
If you're familiar with IRC colors you can also use the raw numbers you're used to:
`This is $c13pink text`
Here are the color names we support, and which IRC colors they map to:
--------------------
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
