Documentation for the Format plugin for Supybot
===============================================
Purpose

and to change the output of the bot for a particular command.
See also the :ref:`Filter plugin <plugin-Filter>` to configure
the output format for all commands.
Usage
-----

capitalized.
.. _commands-Format:
Commands
--------
.. _command-format-bold:
``bold <text>``
Returns <text> bolded.
.. _command-format-capitalize:
``capitalize <text>``
Returns <text> capitalized.
.. _command-format-color:
``color <foreground> [<background>] <text>``
Returns <text> with foreground color <foreground> and background color <background> (if given)
.. _command-format-concat:
``concat <string 1> <string 2>``
Concatenates two strings. Do keep in mind that this is *not* the same thing as join "", since if <string 2> contains spaces, they won't be removed by concat.
.. _command-format-cut:
``cut <size> <text>``
Cuts <text> down to <size> by chopping off the rightmost characters in excess of <size>. If <size> is a negative number, it chops that many characters off the end of <text>.
.. _command-format-field:
``field <number> <text>``
Returns the <number>th space-separated field of <text>. I.e., if text is "foo bar baz" and <number> is 2, "bar" is returned.
.. _command-format-format:
``format <format string> [<arg> ...]``
Expands a Python-style format string using the remaining args. Just be sure always to use %s, not %d or %f or whatever, because all the args are strings.
.. _command-format-join:
``join <separator> <string 1> [<string> ...]``
Joins all the arguments together with <separator>.
.. _command-format-lower:
``lower <text>``
Returns <text> lowercased.
.. _command-format-replace:
``replace <substring to translate> <substring to replace it with> <text>``
Replaces all non-overlapping occurrences of <substring to translate> with <substring to replace it with> in <text>.
.. _command-format-repr:
``repr <text>``
Returns <text> surrounded by double quotes.
.. _command-format-reverse:
``reverse <text>``
Returns <text> in reverse-video.
.. _command-format-title:
``title <text>``
Returns <text> titlecased.
.. _command-format-translate:
``translate <chars to translate> <chars to replace those with> <text>``
Replaces <chars to translate> with <chars to replace those with> in <text>. The first and second arguments must necessarily be the same length.
.. _command-format-underline:
``underline <text>``
Returns <text> underlined.
.. _command-format-upper:
``upper <text>``
Returns <text> uppercased.
