People have been occasionally using these tags, and some may think that altered text chat is indicative of cheating/hacking. I've been kicked from public lobbies for this reason.

These tags are fully available in vanilla D&DSS and thus anyone can use them.

If this is an intended implementation by the developer is another question, but for now we have these fun tools available! (FlyingJakob pls don't remove <3)

Currently known text modifier tags:

CSS-style/HTML tags

Escape characters

If you find more, feel free to comment and I'll add them to this guide.

When used, the tags will apply to any text that comes after it, up to a certain rendering limit. If you spam the chat, it will eventually remove these tags from all messages, but everyone who chats will have their size or color changed. This is true for other text fields (explained later).

It's also important to note that when you finish a tag and the text disappears, it still counts towards character limits.

The currently known colors to replace the parameter in are

• Red
  
• Blue
  
• Yellow
  
• Orange
  
• Purple
  
• Green
  
• White
  
• Black
  
• Any HEX Color code
  <color=#FFFFFF>
• For example,
  <color=#BEBCB0>
  will make the text chat the same color as the background, making invisible chat!

The size tag seems to take any double precision floating point value that is comma separated, although anything larger than 0-1000 will most likely be too large to see, and completely wipe the visibility of chat. The value entered is directly related to the font size, by pixel height.

The default value of this also seems to be somewhere between size=20 and size=21, so it's recommended to use these values to reset the chat back to the original size.




You can also make text sizes negative!



Anything less than -20 will make the text upside-down. This also inverts the scrolling direction, so this one isn't too useful, but interesting nontheless! If you need to scroll up in chat to find something someone has said, you can use these large negative values.




In emails, the largest size font that will show up in the subject line is

As hinted in the previous section, you can use this text formatting in more than just the lobby text chat! You can use these in:

• Emails
  
  
  
• Sticky notes? Not quite.
  
  It doesn't work on the sticky note itself unfortunately.
  
  
• Notepad. The largest usable font size I've found is ~25.
  
  The default seems to be around 10-15, maybe 13. Keep in mind that the text in the notepad application is different than what's printed.
  
  
• Character Names. The size and colors should work everywhere! Very curious to see if more people adopt new colors in their name :D
  
  The last name also seems to inherit the first name tags since they're combined into your full name.
  

For the notepad example, this was done by typing:
into the notepad application.

Of course it's up to a lobby host's discretion to allow this type of behaviour, but in order to reduce the stigma, and to have fun with randoms, please refrain from abusing these to be malicious. I'd rather not have the developer be forced to remove these, although I understand this guide may be the catalyst.
