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*
<pre>
; 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
; Prints the text 'Hello World' with color 4 which is red by default and background color 12 which is blue by default.
//echo -ag $chr(3) $+ 3,12 Hello world
</pre>
