> You can customize the output of IRC messages and events by
selecting a format message set previously created with
<A
HREF="function.ircg-register-format-messages.html"
><B
CLASS="function"
>ircg_register_format_messages()</B
></A
> by specifying
the set's name in <TT
CLASS="parameter"
><I
>msg_format</I
></TT
>.
</P
><P
> If you want to handle CTCP messages such as ACTION (/me), you need to
define a mapping from CTCP type (e.g. ACTION) to a custom format
string. Do this by passing an associative array as
<TT
CLASS="parameter"
><I
>ctcp_messages</I
></TT
>. The keys of the array
are the CTCP type and the respective value is the format message.
</P
><P
> You can define "ident", "password", and "realname" tokens which
are sent to the IRC server by setting these in an associative
array. Pass that array as <TT
CLASS="parameter"
><I
>user_settings</I
></TT
>.
