Alpha Graphics

Yellow Alphagraphics

Alpha-graphics can be defined in markup using a special markup syntax using double square brackets e.g.

   [y[Welcome to Telstar]]

The character between the first and second bracket, i.e. the 'b' in the above exampple represents the colour to be used. Note that Alpha-graphics take up four rows, therefore, sat least 4 linefeeds will be required to position the cursor to the next row.

e.g.

   [y[Welcome to Telstar]]\n\n\n\r\n[c][.-]
