3ba2dbd1bd use string.char(10) for newline, like it should be
(since colors are now strings)

452102cc7c use printable strings for color codes
instead of string.char(0-27), use "/" as an escape followed by
"[0-9][A-R][a-r]", all inside the string.

e.g. digiline_send("chan", "/0this /1is /2some /3colorful /4text")

"/" followed by any other character than the above will be treated as an
invalid color code and will be taken literally.

"//" will print a single slash.

Note: on receipt, all instances of "//" in a message are actually
translated to string.char(30) -- one for each pair.  This makes the
scrolling code easier.  Keep this in mind if you use the "getstr" and
"getindex" commands.

Also, this expands the max string length to 6 kB, to allow a full 80x25
display with one color code er character.  "clear" and "allon" remain at
2kB since that's still enough.

922efe9210 clarify README regarding scrolling
also make sure to `return false` from the scroll_text function if the
scroll timer was last set to a value below the allowed minimum (which
would mean the user/program intended to shut it off by setting it to 0,
or the stepper was called manually, implying no timer)
2018-08-17 10:12:35 -04:00

81a06dc054 add a command to immediately scroll the displayed message by one step
to be used in lieu of the three existing auto-scroll commands in case
you want the LuaC to handle the stepping.

ee77614b97 treat strings prefixed with 0xff as Lua's weird UTF-8 encoding
translate them to bare ISO-8859-1 at print time

Only alters chars with codes > 0x9f, so graphics/symbols in the
0x7f-0x9f range and color and control codes < 0x20 are preserved

The routine assumes that any char code > 0x9f is the first byte of a
two-byte UTF-8 symbol.

Note that due to Minetest's busted formspecs, it's not possible to
actually type-in or copy-paste proper UTF strings to take advantage of
this mode, so it's only useful if the strings are generated by or
imported in from something else (e.g. a URL or something, or a LuaC
program that generates strings)
