I've tried searching the forum to see if there is an answer to this already - my one big thing I've always wanted from MUSHclient is the ability to use colour in notepad. Is there perhaps a new release that has this function, or is there a way I can set notepad up to accept colour use?

I am not familiar with coding terms, so please bear with me if I ask for clarification of confusing answers. I'm currently using v3.17 (registered).

Thanks,

Oma

At present the notepad just stores straight text, so it cannot store colours. You can make it "colourful" by modifying the text and background colours, however you will only have the two colours.

If you want to copy from the output window and presever the colours you can "copy as HTML" and then make a web page out of it.

Also there is a plugin that lets you log in ANSI codes, which preserves the ANSI colours.
