| I'm trying to get the words [Public] to be highlighted in blue. However when I use [ and ] only the letter P is highlighted, and when I use only Public, every instance of the word is highlighted, no matter what.
So I figure I have to write [ and ] in a specific way. I couldn't find any document that showed me how. | | Top |

| I presume you have regular expressions turned on? There is a file "RegularExpressions.txt" that ships with MUSHclient that describes them in detail.
Your problem is that the square brackets are for "sets" of characters, eg. "[Public]" will match on "P" or "u" or "b" or "l" or "i" or "c".
You need to "escape" them to match literally on the brackets, like this:
\[Public\]
