Hi all,ããHas anyone written any code to convert Synchronet attribute codes to anotherãBBS's attribute format? I started writing some functions to do so, and forãsome, there could be some that would be tricky. For instance, WWIV doesn'tãhave a separate individual code for high intensity; it has codes forãnormal-intensity colors and separate codes for high-intensity versions of theãcolors. The issue I see is that if there is a Synchronet high-intensity codeãsomewhere in a line or a block of text, and later there is a color code, thatãcolor would end up being high-intensity. When parsing the line/block of text,ãthe parsing code would need to remember that the high intensity attribute wasãset previously and use WWIV's high-intensity version of that color code. Andãit looks like Celerity is the same way..ããI'm curious if there is a simple way to convert Synchronet attribute codes toãother BBS formats and if anyone has written such code.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

So any "other BBS" format which also closely matches theãcapabilities of ANSI could be converted to/from easy. Converting to/from otherã(non-ANSI-matching) formats could be accomplished by tracking the currentãvirtual attribute and outputting the correct corresponding absolute "other BBS"ãcode when any text was to be displayed.ããWWIV with its limited palette might be a lot harder.ãã digital manããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #43:ãSBBS = Synchronet Bulletin Board SystemãNorco, CA WX: 60.1øF, 58.0% humidity, 0 mph SSE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
