A simple mechanism to markup mud output

A mechanism to markup mud output

It looks a bit like HTML

You are in a [fairy]huge[/fairy] cavern. [day]Shafts of light descend from
an opening high in the cavern ceiling.[/day]...

This implementation does support ==, && (and), || (or) logic, though it's subtle.

[fairy][mage]Show to fairy mage[/mage][/fairy] --> (race == fairy && class == mage)

[fairy]Show to fairy[/fairy][elf]Show to elf[/elf] --> (race == fairy || race == elf)

...but not integral value tests or intergral comparison tests.

(age > 25)

(level == 1)

It can be easily extended to do things like that:

[dwarf][age 25+]Something for old dwarves[/age][/dwarf] --> (race == dwarf && age >= 25)

[level 1]Welcome newbie.[/level] --> (level == 1)

[detect hidden 50]something really secret[/detect hidden] --> (skill_check("detect hidden", 50) == true)

[evil]a view from the dark side[/evil] --> (alignment <= -350)

I think it's a good example of creating an interface that tries its damndest to not turn builders into coders. I suspect trying to convert them often makes them unhappy and disgruntled. I don't know if that's really true or not.

Ahh the power of regular expressions.
