Screenshots

There are examples of MUSH Formatter's usage lower down this page.

Main Window

This is the main MUSH Formatter window. You can select the formatting type and choose between a file and the clipboard for input and output.

Dropping a file (or files) onto this form will format it using the selected options.

 Prefences

This is the main prefernces dialog. As you can see, you can easily and quite dramatically change the way in which MUSH Formatter operates.

Main Console Preferences

Example

Consider the following piece of MUSH code that displays the location of all the players connected to the game: 

# --- BEGIN CODE

&where_cmd me=
  $+where:
    @pemit %#=Where everyone is...%r%r;
    @dolist lwho()=
    {
      @pemit %#=
#
# Name
#
        [ljust(name(##),15)]
#
# Location and dbref
#
        [name(loc(##))]%(#[loc(##)]%)
    }
-

# --- END CODE
In its present form, it would be unintelligible to the MUSH parser and would result in a lot of Huh? messages. When passed through the MUSH Formatter, the following code results: 
&where_cmd me=$+where:@pemit %#=Where everyone is...%r%r;@dolist lwho()={@pemit %#=[ljust(name(##),15)][name(loc(##))]%(#[loc(##)]%)}
As you can see, this line of code will make a lot more sense when sent to the game.
