I can't get this example from http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/mxp.htm to work:

<!ELEMENT colorbold '<COLOR &col;><B>' ATT='col=red'>

<colorbold>This text is in bold red</colortext>
<colorbold col=blue>This text is in bold blue</colortext>
<colorbold blue>This text is in bold blue</colortext>

I get all text in deault colours, not bold.

I tried this with \e[1z and \e[4z codes in front of all tags.

If this does work, could you give a full sequence that works, so with the escape codes etc..
thanks!

oh yeah, mushclient 3.50

Turn up the MXP debugging level to see what it is reporting, eg. does it recognise the the element at all, does it give error messages?

This is wrong, for a start:

Quote:
<colorbold>This text is in bold red</colortext>

You have opened the tag with "colorbold" and closed it with "colortext".

However, I note it is like that on my other web page. ;)

ok, the debugging showed what was going wrong.

the mud replaced the & with & so the &col was never seen, I didn't think of looking at the mud output because it worked on zmud (!) guess I found a bug there instead.

Thanks for the help!
