About

"Pretty" MUSH Code ?

This is code that is split over a number of lines and can contain comments within the code. When formatted, it is converted to a single line, with comments stripped.

The main function of MUSH Formatter is to process "pretty" MUSH code (which cannot be quoted to a MUSH without formatting) and change it into MUSH-friendly code, ready to be quoted to the game. The registered version can also process ascii "images" (maps, ascii art etc.) and make them MUSH-friendly (multiple spaces converted to %b, newlines to %r etc.)

Its function is very similar to Andrew Molitor's DOS/UNIX based tool (as well as a number of other tools that are out there now.) However, MUSH Formatter provides a lot more flexibility. It can format both clipboard text (replacing it with the formatted code) as well as files. It is especially usefull when called as a macro from a text-editor, command-line parameters providing extra functionality.

For feature information, see the features page.

For examples of MUSH Formatter's usage, see the screenshots page.
