MXP is a "mark-up" language, similar in concept to HTML, and also borrowing ideas from XML.

The intention is that output from the MUD is "tagged" so that it enriches the Mudding experience.

For example:


There is a <color red> <b> fire </b> </color> here!

Exits are to the <send "east"> East </send> and <send "west"> West </send>.



The first example shows hows a word can be displayed in a different colour, and in bold.

The second example shows how you can create "hyperlinks" (like on a web page) which the player can click on to perform an action.
