Back in the old days all the colors and texts were mixed -up in those formats, and it was really hard to change the colors since you -might have had to change them in tens of different places. So, then came -this templating system. - -Now the C</FORMAT>s don't have any colors in them, and they also have very -little other styling. Most of the stuff you need to change is in this -theme file. If you can't change something here, you can always go back -to change the /FORMATs directly, they're also saved in the F<*.theme> files. - -So, the templates. They're those C<{blahblah}> parts you see all over the -/FORMATs and here. Their usage is simply C<{name parameter1 parameter2}>. - -When irssi sees this kind of text, it goes to find C<name> from the abstracts -block below and sets C<parameter1> into C<$0> and C<parameter2> into C<$1> (you -can have more parameters of course). Templates can have sub-templates. Here's a -small example: - - /FORMAT format hello {colorify {underline world}} - - abstracts = { colorify = "%G$0-%n"; underline = "%U$0-%U"; } - -When irssi expands the templates in C<"format">, the final string would be: - - hello %G%Uworld%U%n - -ie. underlined bright green "world" text. and why C<$0->, why not C<$0>? C<$0> -would only mean the first parameter, C<$0-> means all the parameters. With -C<{underline hello world}> you'd really want to underline both of the words, not -just the hello (and world would actually be removed entirely). - -See also L<Formats#arguments|Formats/ALIAS AND FORMAT TEMPLATE ARGUMENTS> for -details on the variable to argument mapping. - -=head2 COLOURS - -You can find definitions for the colour format codes in L<Formats/COLOURS>. - -There's one difference here though. C<%n> format. Normally it means the default -color of the terminal (white mostly), but here it means the "reset color back to -the one it was in higher template". For example if there was C</FORMAT test -%g{foo}bar>, and C<foo = "%Y$0%n">, irssi would print yellow C<"foo"> (as set -with C<%Y>) but C<"bar"> would be green, which was set at the beginning before -the C<{foo}> template. If there wasn't the C<%g> at start, the normal behaviour -of C<%n> would occur. If you I<really> want to use the terminal's default color, -use C<%N>. - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Based on the original content found as comments in the F<default.theme> file. -Copyright E<copy> 2000-2010 L<The Irssi project|http://irssi.org>. - -Formatting and additional content by Tom Feist - L<shabble+irssi@metavore.org|mailto:shabble+irssi@metavore.org> - |
