I was excited to see that someone in ubuntu-cn sent text with a color. Unfortunately, this function is only available on a few clients such as Opera Chat, I am unwilling to do so (after all, the color is displayed on my chatzilla ). So I started to study. First, I opened the log and found that some formatted text was marked on both sides (as long as the front side was marked, the back may be the effect of removing the front mark ). I also found an address from an Internet friend of the ubuntu Forum. It is a "menu" (plug-in?) of opera ?), Download it and find that there are tags corresponding to common formats (in fact, this plug-in Inserts these tags into the text ), the following describes the method (using firefox + chatzilla as an example)

Step 1: Download The INI File
Open the http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/ope... ting.html # agreement, Click the "Click here to install the menu", and then the Protocol will come out, where you need to agree to all the protocols, all the check boxes on the point is


Click the "Install menu" button and save the INI file.

Step 2: Open the INI file and copy characters from it
Open the INI file using gedit or gvim, as shown below:


Find the corresponding part and paste the characters in the red box (inside the quotation marks, without quotation marks) into the input box with the middle mouse buttons, the characters entered later will contain the corresponding format.
Both the text color and background color use the same special character, which is easy to find.

Restore to common format/coexistence of multiple formats
Find the line of plain text in the file and copy the characters in the middle of the quotation marks to the client. All the marked effects will be cleared. In this way, multiple formats can be used.

Let's see the effect.


Note: 1. Users of opera chat can directly install the file. The specific method is not described here.
2. Some special characters are not displayed on some clients, but may take effect.
3. Some clients may not support this function, so pay attention to it in some cases.
4. Some Chat rooms may block such formatted text. If such a chat room is used, do not use this effect.
5. This effect has been tried on freenode, but other servers do not know it yet.
6. All tags only work for this row
