-= Renegade Pipe Codes =+====WWIV Format====
  
-....etc...+Synchronet optionally supports color/attribute codes which are native to //WWIV// BBS software. These codes consist of a Control-C (ASCII 3) character followed by a single decimal digit (0 through 9): 
 + 
 +^ Code ^ Color ^ 
 +| 0 | Normal | 
 +| 1 | High Intensity Cyan | 
 +| 2 | High Intensity Yellow | 
 +| 3 | Normal Magenta | 
 +| 4 | High Intensity White with Blue Background | 
 +| 5 | Normal Green | 
 +| 6 | High Intensity Blinking Red | 
 +| 7 | High Intensity Blue | 
 +| 8 | Low Intensity Blue | 
 +| 9 | Low Intensity Cyan | 
 + 
 + 
 +====Celerity Format==== 
 + 
 +Synchronet optionally supports color/attribute codes which are native to //Celerity// BBS software. 
 +These codes consist of a pipe symbol (''|'') followed by a single alphabetic letter (case sensitive): 
 + 
 +^ Code ^ Color (foreground) ^ 
 +| k | Normal Black | 
 +| b | Normal Blue | 
 +| g | Normal Green | 
 +| c | Normal Cyan | 
 +| r | Normal Red | 
 +| m | Normal Magenta | 
 +| y | Brown | 
 +| w | Normal White | 
 +| d | High Intensity Black | 
 +| B | High Intensity Blue | 
 +| G | High Intensity Green | 
 +| C | High Intensity Cyan | 
 +| R | High Intensity Red | 
 +| M | High Intensity Magenta | 
 +| Y | Yellow | 
 +| W | High Intensity White | 
 +| S | Swap foreground and background | 
 + 
 +Example: "''|b|S|W''" would set the current color to high intensity white on a blue background. 
 + 
 +Note: Due to conflicting escape sequences (namely, the pipe character), //Celerity// color/atribute codes are not supported when using RIP terminal mode. 
 + 
 + 
 +====Renegade/Telegard Format==== 
 + 
 +Synchronet optionally supports color/attribute codes which are native to //Renegade// BBS software.  These codes consist of a pipe symbol (''|'') followed by a two-digit decimal number (00-31): 
 + 
 +^ Code ^ Color ^ 
 +| 00 | Normal Black | 
 +| 01 | Normal Blue | 
 +| 02 | Normal Green | 
 +| 03 | Normal Cyan | 
 +| 04 | Normal Red | 
 +| 05 | Normal Magenta | 
 +| 06 | Brown | 
 +| 07 | Normal White | 
 +| 08 | High Intensity Black | 
 +| 09 | High Intensity Blue | 
 +| 10 | High Intensity Green | 
 +| 11 | High Intensity Cyan | 
 +| 12 | High Intensity Red | 
 +| 13 | High Intensity Magenta | 
 +| 14 | Yellow | 
 +| 15 | High Intensity White | 
 +| 16 | Background Black | 
 +| 17 | Background Blue | 
 +| 18 | Background Green | 
 +| 19 | Background Cyan | 
 +| 20 | Background Red | 
 +| 21 | Background Magenta | 
 +| 22 | Background Brown | 
 +| 23 | Background White | 
 +| 24 | High Intensity Black Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 +| 25 | High Intensity Blue Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 +| 26 | High Intensity Green Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 +| 27 | High Intensity Cyan Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 +| 28 | High Intensity Red Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 +| 29 | High Intensity Magenta Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 +| 30 | High Intensity Yellow Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 +| 31 | High Intensity White Background (or blinking foreground) | 
 + 
 +Example: "''|15|17''" would set the current color to high intensity white on a blue background. 
 + 
 + 
 +====PCBoard / Wildcat Format==== 
 + 
 +Two of the color/attribute code formats which Synchronet optionally supports (//PCBoard// and //Wildcat!//) use similar, yet cryptic, methods of displaying colors.  The //PCBoard// method uses the format "@X<Background><Foreground>", and //Wildcat!// uses the format "@<Background><Foreground>@".  The following is a list of the Background and Foreground choices available: 
 + 
 +^ <Background> ^ Color ^ Attribute ^ <Foreground> ^ Color ^ Attribute ^ 
 +| 0 | Black | Normal | 0 | Black | Normal | 
 +| 1 | Blue | Normal | 1 | Blue | Normal | 
 +| 2 | Green | Normal | 2 | Green | Normal | 
 +| 3 | Cyan | Normal | 3 | Cyan | Normal | 
 +| 4 | Red | Normal | 4 | Red | Normal | 
 +| 5 | Magenta | Normal | 5 | Magenta | Normal | 
 +| 6 | Brown | Normal | 6 | Brown | Normal | 
 +| 7 | White | Normal | 7 | White | Normal | 
 +| 8 | Black | Blinking Foreground | 8 | Black  | High Intensity |  
 +| 9 | Blue | Blinking Foreground  | 9 | Blue | High Intensity  | 
 +| A | Green | Blinking Foreground  | A | Green | High Intensity  | 
 +| B | Cyan | Blinking Foreground  | B | Cyan | High Intensity  | 
 +| C | Red | Blinking Foreground  | C | Red | High Intensity  | 
 +| D | Magenta | Blinking Foreground  | D | Magenta | High Intensity  | 
 +| E | Brown | Blinking Foreground  | E | Yellow | High Intensity  | 
 +| F | White | Blinking Foreground  | F | White | High Intensity  | 
 + 
 +Example: ''@1F@'' in //Wildcat!// format and ''@X1F'' in //PCBoard// format would set the current color to high intensity white on a blue background. 
 + 
 +Additionally, PCBoard supports ''@X00'' to save the current color and ''@XFF'' to restore the previously saved color. 
 + 
 +===== Note ===== 
 +The "Blinking Foreground" attribute may be displayed as a "High Intensity Background" attribute in some terminals. This terminal mode is sometimes referred to as "ICE color" mode and may be enabled and subsequently disabled in [[http://syncterm.net|SyncTERM]] with specific ANSI terminal escape sequences.
