Hi I realise this is probably quite a remedial question for this type of forum but if someone could help me I would much appreciate it.

I would like to be able to use the html style color codes e.g. #CE59CE or $CE59CE inline with the #show or #say function

Much like you can #show %ansi(red)hi %ansi(blue)michael

currently I can only figure out how to use those codes line by line e.g.

#say {hi michael};#color $CE59CE
(the above example would need to be set to an alias or trigger to work properly I believe)

I cant figure out how to change colors inline

anyway if someone could help me I would appreciate it feel free to e-mail me

I would use an open MXP command such as:

#say Here is a test: ~<color #CE59CE>hi~</color> ~<color #663473>michael~</color>

Hope this helps!

Did you try %colorname?

lol, Slaem... re-read his question. He wants to be able to use HTML color codes, which is why I suggested the open MXP command

Simucal has the right of it. You can also use the #MXP command just like #SAY or #SHOW; #ECHO has a slightly different behavior. Using #MXP has the benefit that it preforms less parsing of the <> in the command allowing you to more readily type such things without the use of extra tildes (~). Also I believe the MXP specification supports both # and $ for signalling a hexadecimal value. You may need to use $ in scripts where the syntax checker is involved. In any case proper use of quotes can often make the syntax checker happy:
#MXP "Here is a test: <color #CE59CE>hi~</color> ~<color #663473>michael</color>"
