{{>toc}} h1. Formatting text AdiIRC supports control codes for formatting text. All control codes can be combined to format the same block. h1. Colorchar Colors blocks of text. Ascii character [[$chr]](3) Ctrl + K can be used in editbox to type this character. The character can be followed by 1-2 digits that represent the color number. By specifying a comma after the digits, you can add a 1-2 digit background color as well. The default colors can be changed in Options -> Colors -> mIRC Colors. A second color character can be used to stop the coloring and revert to default line color. *Example*
; Prints the text 'Hello World' with color 4 which is red by default.
//echo -ag $chr(3) $+ 3 Hello world

; Prints the text 'Hello' with color 4 which is red by default and 'world' is the default line color.
//echo -ag $chr(3) $+ 3 Hello $+ $chr(3) $+ world
