message formatting.
a la zephyr
@style[text]
style does alias
@bold Bold @b
@center Centered text @c
@huge Huge text
@italic Italicized @i
@large large text
@plain Normal text
@right Right aligned text
@small Small text
any bracketing tags can be used in place of [].
styles can be imbeded ad infinitum
just a thought of course this means @ needs to be escaped if it wants to be
displayed. but a smart parser should realize if there is no container tag,
then no message formatting is to take place, and leave the @ alone
I realize a lot of people would probably want HTML style formatting, I don't
see why both couldn't be implemented. Of course it's entirely up to the
client.
