[cgiirc-general] Highlighting Support?

[Damian J. <at...@gm...>]

Hi, I've been using cgi:irc for a couple weeks now to keep an eye on
channels for a project I contribute to (tor) while at work - many thanks!

Couple quick questions:
- How difficult would it be to make cgi:irc hilight a given term (just the
word or whole line would be fine)? I'm guessing it would mean changing the
format line that looks like:
message public hilight = {message-nick-hilight $0} {text $2}
but gave up on following the code once it got into the land of regular
expressions. Any suggestions or would this be a tricky hack?

- The oftc network provides support for SSL connections - is there any way
of taking advantage of this with cgi:irc?

Quick suggestion in case the project's still being developed would be to
check for javascript - a friend of mine tried to access via a browser with
NoScript and it took me quite a while to figure out what was wrong (cgi:irc
loads the interface but freezes at the point of joining channels).

Again, thanks for the great project! -Damian
