ok, I've searched as much as I could, and I couldn't seem to find what I needed. So, how would you go about highlighting multiple lines of something. For example, in the mudd I play, people can "sign" their messages out, and I want to highlight it. Here is what it looks like

A really cheap way to do it is like thus:

#trigger {(* signs:)} {#mxp %1<color red>}
#condition {(H: %d)} {#mxp </color>%1}

It's not exactly a proper way to do things, and it's possible it won't work (it's very likely to not work if you play an MXP-capable MUD). To do it properly depends on the wordwrap position and status within the MUD itself and whether you can change it. If you can change it, then you need only to set it to an extreme value and a simple single-line trigger will highlight all of it. If you can't change it, then you need two triggers--one to detect the RandomName signs: line and the prompt, and one to match everything inbetween. The former trigger will enable the latter in the first state, and in the second state will disable it:

#trigger {* signs: (*)} {#pcol red %x1; #T+ tMultilineSign}
#condition {H: %d} {#T- tMultilineSign}

#trigger "tMultilineSign" {*} {#color red}
