Color Codes
Color codes can be used a few different ways: the code followed by a
foreground or background color description changes the color of any
following text; the code followed by any character, other than a comma, that
cannot be part of a color description (or at the end of a line) cancels any
previous color changes.
- <code><color> - change foreground color
- <code><color>,<color> - change foreground and background color
- <code><color>, - change foreground, restore default background
- <code>,<color> - change background, restore default foreground
- <code>, - restore default foreground and background
- <code><text> - restore default foreground and background

Special Codes
These codes are only used locally for marking links. The codes 10 and 13
were chosen because those codes are line breaks in the IRC protocol, so
hyperlink codes will never be present in any message received from a
server.
