%_

%f

%B

%T

You can also encode messages which can only be read by people with certain flags:

%{+m}some text%{-}

Only masters would see this.

%{+1}some text%{-}

Only people with user flag #1 see this.

%{+b}some text%{-}

This is only displayed to users doing a remote '.motd' from another bot.

%{+|m}some text%{-}

Only channel masters would see this.

Other extended % commands are:

%{cols=N}

start splitting output into N columns

%{cols=N/W}

same, but use a screen width of W

%{end}

end columnated or restricted (ie %{+m}) block

%{center}
