Many settings in IRCmagic support custom messages. Custom messages are text messages that contain special tags, which when processed for display by IRCmagic, are replaced with appropriate information.
The built-in tags IRCmagic recognizes are:
<nick>
This tag is replaced with the nickname of the person the message is being directed to when displayed in your channel. For instance, if a person named Sam joined the channel, "Look! <nick> is here!" would become "Look! Sam is here!".
<chan>
This tag is replaced with the channel name of the channel the message is being displayed in. For instance, if your channels name is #BoogyDown and someone were to join your channel, "Welcome to <chan>!" would become "Welcome to #BoogyDown!".
<file>
This tag is replaced with the filename of the file the message is about. For instance, if a person named Sam requested a file called oompa.wav from you, and you did not have that sound, the message "Sorry dude, I don't have a file named <file> in my Sounds folder." would become "Sorry dude, I don't have a file named oompa.wav in my Sounds folder.".
<ircv>
This tag is replaced with the numeric version of the copy of ircle you are running. This tag is supplied for people wanting to report this information in custom gestalt replies.
<sysv>
This tag is replaced with the numeric version of Mac OS you are running. This tag is supplied for people wanting to report this information in custom gestalt replies.
<date>
This tag is replaced with the current date (in long form). This tag is supplied for people wanting to report this information in custom gestalt replies.

\n

$shortversion
