In many Lusternian help files, syntax is displayed using less than and greater than signs for generic parameters, such as:

INR

or

NATURE CURSE

Well, in MUSHClient, it accepts MXP from Lusternia, and it interprets these things as HTML tags, and they don't render. So, when I look at a help file that displays syntax, the same lines would look like this:

INR

NATURE CURSE

Now, most of the time, I can figure it out. However, the inability to see the full syntax for commands has led to some degree of frustration for me for more complicated commands or commands I rarely use, and I've taken to using the website to look up most things. Even so, not everything I need to see is available in a public help file.

I could turn off MXP for Lusternia, but then my mapper (IMap via MudBot) doesn't display properly.

Is there something I can do in MUSHClient that would display those tags without completely disabling MXP?

I turned off my IMap MXP option because of this problem. No real easy way around it, I'm afraid. It's a bug in IMap, I'm pretty sure.

How do you do whatever you just said?

map config map_mxp off

You may also need to turn off exits_mxp and title_mxp.

Will doing this in config.mapper do the same thing?

Disable-MXPTitle yes
Disable-MXPExits yes
Disable-MXPMap yes

Yes. That's what those commands modify, so doing it directly and then loading your map will work just the same.

Thanks! I haven't had time to test it, yet, but this has been bothering me a long time.

Will I need to disable MXP on the MUSHClient side, too?

If MUSHclient handles the MXP stuff correctly (and I think it does), you won't have to disable it in the client.

I tried doing those three things and it still didn't show .

I had to disable MXP in MUSHClient as well. Once I had those settings changed in the mapper file and told my MUSHClient settings for Lusternia never to use MXP, the whole thing worked like a charm.

How does that affect the mapper?

Well, if I disabled MXP in Mush, but not the Mapper, the tag thing worked, but my mapper was all screwy.

If I disabled MXP in the mapper (per Z's intructions), but not in Mush, nothing seemed to happen.

But if I disable it in both, everything works fine.
