I hope I'm not too off base with my question here. About a month ago (can't remember which Lich version) when I used Lich with Avalon every object in the room description which could be interacted with (underlined/clickable in SF) would be enclosed in two symbols. I would squelch those and replace them with some highlighted curly braces, and those proved immensely useful in navigating room descriptions/finding exits.

Then, with an update to Lich, Avalon no longer encased objects with those symbols. I want to turn this "bug" back on, but I can't track down in the Lich code where it handles highlighting objects. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You can make whatever strings you want to appear before and after links in the room description by setting $link_highlight_start and $link_highlight_end. Just make a sort script that sets these and add it to your favs.

If you can figure out any strings that can be inserted into the stream that will cause Avalon to highlight things, let me know and I'll add it. Or, would it be annoying to just have those links highlighted the same as monsterbold things?

I personally end up highlighting keywords words like gate, door, etc. anyways, albeit usually in a different color than the monsterbord color. I wouldn't care if they were the same color as monters, but I'm sure some people would, heh.
