tkMOO-light's happiest speaking to line-mode servers, MOO and Cold
servers are good examples of what I mean by 'line-mode'; every line
sent from the server ends in CRLF. If your server uses prompts:
By which name do you wish to be know:[cursor resting here]
then the client's less happy. Although I recently fixed up a plugin
that teaches tkMOO-light how to handle a ROM server; prompts,
ansi-colour sequences, a mixture of CR and LFCR (you read that
right) as end-of-line markers.

I don't follow Cold developments too closely these days and I'm
not a spokesperson.

Dynamic Text
ColdCore defines ctext which is an internal abstraction of
text. Using ctext ColdCore can quickly parse a document to
HTML, Plain-Text or any other text format you desire.
Um so, think XML or some similarly structured abstraction. On its
own its barely readable garbage, but run it through a parser and
pass the results to an object that can convert it into a more
desirable output format and you have a single-source for online
help-documents, HTML web-pages or even the PostScript hardcopy
manual.
Of course it's not just static documentation, you can use it for
object descriptions too, with the output being generated afresh
for each observer if necessary.
You could visit somewhere like the Cold Dark and nose around to
find out more.
