WRITE
Keywords: WRITE
=== USER MANUAL ===
Usage: write <subject>
write <note>
Description:
Post a message to a bulletin board, or write on a note item.
Board Writing:
If a board is present in the room or your inventory, write
creates a new message with the given subject and opens the text
editor.
Note Writing:
If no board is present, write <note> writes on a blank note
item in your inventory. The note must be of type ITEM_NOTE
and must not already have text on it.
Using The Editor:
Type text normally to add lines to your message. Every editor
command begins with / followed by a single letter. Line numbers
used by some commands start at 1 -- use /n to see them.
/s .............. Save the text and exit the editor.
/a .............. Abort editing and discard everything.
/h .............. Display the list of editor commands.
/c .............. Clear the entire buffer.
/l .............. List the current buffer contents.
/n .............. List the buffer with line numbers.
/u .............. List the buffer for upload to your client.
/f .............. Format (word-wrap) the whole buffer.
/fi ............. Format with indented paragraphs.
/d# ............. Delete line number #.
/e# <text> ...... Replace line # with <text>.
/i# <text> ...... Insert <text> before line #.
/r 'a' 'b' ...... Replace the first occurrence of a with b.
/ra 'a' 'b' ..... Replace every occurrence of a with b.
Search/replace patterns must be wrapped in matching single or
double quotes, e.g. /r "teh" "the" or /ra 'foo' 'bar'.
Raw Color Output:
Appending c to a list command shows the raw color codes instead
of rendering them, which is handy for copying formatting exactly:
/lc, /nc, and /uc.
Restrictions:
- Board writing requires write-level access to the board.
- Notes must be blank (no existing text).
- Must be resting or better to use.
