| Actually I think zMUD looks for the </I>, so it *would* work.
However it is not supposed to do that. The MXP spec (http://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm) says:
"Also, when in OPEN mode, any unclosed OPEN tags are automatically closed when a newline is received from the MUD.".
So, you are allowed to leave off the closing tags and have the client close them for you - which is what MUSHclient does.

| First off, sorry for bumping up an ancient topic, but it saved me part of the problem and I hate opening new ones for nothing.
So my problem is this:
Some characters in my MUD suddenly no longer started displaying, such as the '<' and '&' Now I -finally- found this topic and the plugin helped me restore use of '<' (which helps me tremendously) I rarely stumble upon the '&' sign but it does features a few times and disallows me to see the rest of the line.
E 1003: ( 4991) Unterminated MXP entity: I. (got <NEWLINE>)
Is what the Debug Warning reads, after the I and ampersand would follow with some more text. Though I am unsure how it can be fixed and it is not so dire to me but it is a nuisance. I gather the newline thing is because ';' starts a newline. | | Top |

| It's because it doesn't find a ; before the newline. The 2nd plugin on page 1 of this thread should help. However it tries to tell the difference between a real entity (like &) and something that should be converted (like "rock & roll") by checking for NO letter after the & sign.
Now if the MUD sends "rock&roll" then it fails that test. This is really frustrating because the MUD operators are being lazy by not changing the & in "rock&roll" to & so it should be sending "rock&roll" in the first place.
What you could do is analyze the incoming text (using packet debug might help) and work out what entities they are using, probably < > & and maybe one or two more appear frequently. Then you could make a similar plugin that:
- First converts known ones like the 3 above into something else, like 0x01, 0x02, 0x03.
- Then converts every remaining & into &
- Converts 0x01, 0x02, 0x03 back into what they were to begin with.
