h1. Formatting text

AdiIRC supports control codes for formatting text.

All control codes can be combined to format the same block.

h1. Colorchar

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.
