Magical Codes

^ sets the indent position for any new lines
^x for the speech colour of the commline its used in, else ^s
^X sets what colour ^x will use later in the same string. Only used in source code. e.g. ^Xm will make ^x be dark magenta
^{ sets what colour ^n will use later in the same string. Example: ^{R means that any use of ^n in the rest of the string will produce the colour red rather than the default colour.
^} Cancels the effect of ^{, returning ^n to be the default colour.
&#[ Turns off all colour code parsing for the rest of this block of text.
&#] Turns it back on again.

Note that turning colour code parsing off can and will have strange-looking effects if you use it in things like say or gossip. This is expected, not a bug.
