Hi

I just committed some changes to the way embedded tags work in ansi files.

Previously, you would have something like @MAILAREA@ and it would display
the mail area, and you couldn't have anything else on the line (or use
screen positioning codes)

Now it's to the length of the tag. SO, @MAILAREA@ will now be truncated
(or padded to 8 characters) This is great if you have areas with the name
of 8 characters or less, however if they are longer, you're going to want
a longer tag.

SO, to get a longer tag, pad the tag with #

So, @MAILAREA####################@ will display a longer tag.

Not all tags work this way, in particular, the @PAUSE@ and @NOPAUSE@ and @RUNSCRIPT@ work the old way.

So, you're likely going to have to change your mail area and file area
gfiles. Possibly others if you have tags elsewhere.

Now, the reason for this: it is now possible to change your mail header,
to something 5 lines long, with tags.

The tags for the mail header are special, and don't match the tags for
gfiles, and are currently undocumented. I'll get around to it at some
point.

Thanks, apam!

Won't take long. :)

Apam, I updated and the new mail header looks great. Going to dive and in
start customizing as well.

Curious, will there be a new ans/asc header we need to create in gfiles?

Yeah, but only an ans header, as it doesn't work in ascii mode.

It only reads the top 5 lines, so anything below that wont be read. Also
if you're using some ansi editor that doesn't put linefeeds if you go to
full 80 characters wide, there may be some issues - I'm not sure.

the file is fsr_header.ans

The tags are:

MSGAREA - The Message Area
MSGSUBJ - The Message Subject
MSGFROM - Who wrote the message
MSGTO - Who the message is to
FROMBBS - What BBS it is from (according to the nodelist)
FROMADDR - The address of the bbs it is from
MSGDATE - the date
MSGN - the message number
TOTN - total messagesin area

Scratch that.

I just did an update, there are now 2 fsr_header_echo.ans and fsr_header_local.ans for echomail areas and local areas respectively

Cool, I saw what you did on HappyLand and now I'm inspired :)

Just curious -- what would you think about adding MSGCONF as well? I
often find myself wondering what conf I'm in, LOL. If not -- no worries!

I KNEW someone would ask for message conference!! :)

I haven't done it yet as currently areas don't know what conferences they
are in, only conferences know what areas are in them, so it's a little difficult. I would like to do it though.

Ha, leave it to me to ask :)

Just added my first pass at a custom header on TDG...
Any way to get rid of the divider line? No worries if not, but could
really use that row to make the design work better :)
