Hi all,��Has anyone written any code to convert Synchronet attribute codes to another�BBS's attribute format? I started writing some functions to do so, and for�some, there could be some that would be tricky. For instance, WWIV doesn't�have a separate individual code for high intensity; it has codes for�normal-intensity colors and separate codes for high-intensity versions of the�colors. The issue I see is that if there is a Synchronet high-intensity code�somewhere in a line or a block of text, and later there is a color code, that�color would end up being high-intensity. When parsing the line/block of text,�the parsing code would need to remember that the high intensity attribute was�set previously and use WWIV's high-intensity version of that color code. And�it looks like Celerity is the same way..��I'm curious if there is a simple way to convert Synchronet attribute codes to�other BBS formats and if anyone has written such code.��Nightfox��---� � Synchronet � Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com�

So any "other BBS" format which also closely matches the�capabilities of ANSI could be converted to/from easy. Converting to/from other�(non-ANSI-matching) formats could be accomplished by tracking the current�virtual attribute and outputting the correct corresponding absolute "other BBS"�code when any text was to be displayed.��WWIV with its limited palette might be a lot harder.�� digital man��Synchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #43:�SBBS = Synchronet Bulletin Board System�Norco, CA WX: 60.1�F, 58.0% humidity, 0 mph SSE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs�---� � Synchronet � Vertrauen � Home of Synchronet � [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net�
