Detecting HTML?

Is there any way to detect if the player has HTML enabled or not? Lets say in the NPC Server, if the player has HTML it sends a PM (containing HTML) and if HTML is disabled then it sends a different PM?

Example:

NPC Code:

if (htmlenabled) {

sendpm <b>Welcome! to the Server!</b>;

} else {

sendpm Welcome to the Server!;

}

I'm guessing if there was one it would be one of the $pref vars (which would be clientside anyways).

But, I couldn't find one on the wiki, so I am guessing no...

Personally I don't endorse sending HTML. On linux/mac clients, all the HTML often does not render properly, making it difficult to read.

Personally I don't use HTML either, but I asked this out of curiousity. Thanks for the replies.

Can't be detected yet, can add variables for it on clientside may be

'yet', so does that mean it will be able to be detected in the future?

Are you able to detect if a person is using Linux, Mac, or Windows, etc?

Yes. Using the player.platform variable, I guess you could do something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (player.platform in {"linux", "mac"})

{

  player.sendPM("foo");

}

  else

{

  player.sendPM("bar");

}

The possible values for player.platform are "linux", "mac" and "win", and the variable is readable from the serverside.

So if you were able to combine the player.platform to see if they're on Windows, then check if HTML is enabled?

ie

NPC Code:

if (player.platform == "win") {

  if (htmlenabled) {

    sendpm <b>Welcome to the server!</b>;

  }  else {

    sendpm Welcome to the server!;

  }

}  else {

  sendpm Welcome to the server!;

}

Unless you can simplify it some more, which I'm sure is possible.

Would be neat, but oh hey - who needs html in Graal?

Omini

Well, it could 'brighten up the welcome message', so to speak. Or use HTML to highlight important points (ie. Rules, commands, etc). That's mainly the only reason why I would use HTML, to point out new paragraph topics.

Example

Please make sure you keep up to date with the server rules, if you are unsure then please check the forums at [Random link to imaginary forums]

Updates:
New guns are due for release on 8th June.

ETC ETC

It would neaten things out a bit using HTML, and if the person has it disabled then the PM isn't crowded with stupid HTML flags which don't do anything - thus making it easier to read.
