I know of NoteStyle(), but as far as I can tell, that is a line-by-line situation. What I'm looking for is something that will display the following:

bold text italics bold text

on one line.

Is there such a function available, or at least a the ability to pull off such a stunt? I know in z/CMUD I was able to use html tags, but I'm unaware of it being an option here. Thank you!

You can use AnsiNote in conjunction with ANSI to do that:

AnsiNote

The documentation for the AnsiNote script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

You could also use NoteStyle in conjunction with Tell (or ColourTell) to change the style for part of the line.

Perfect. I'd forgotten about ColourTell, though I didn't even know NoteStyle would work that way. I prefer ColourTell/NoteStyle because I'm using HTML colors for a themed-display of stats.

Thanks!

Glad I could help. All output is done as style runs, there is no style in particular for a whole line. Thus it is possible to change the colour, bold, italic, etc. for every letter if you wanted to.
