Messages

How a line is written, the prefixes, every block of keys, and language keys used in content.

Every line comes from messages/messages_<language>.conf. A line is MiniMessage and names roles, not colours; the colours are in theme.conf. A key missing from a file falls back to the default language, then to the line the code carries.

Prefix	Draws
`<tag:'CHAT'>`	A category word: `CHAT`, `CHANNEL`, `MSG`, `FRIEND`, `MAIL`, `TAG`, `COLOUR`, `MUTE`, `POLL`, `GAME`...
`<etag:'ERROR'>`	An error
`<h:'...'>`	A header

Your own lines in content

A tag, category, rarity, channel name, colour name, announcement line, event line, bubble format, automatic reply or currency format may name a line as @key. Add your own under a block of your own in every language file:

custom {
  tag {
    vip = "<#FFE66D>[VIP]"
  }
}

and write display = "@custom.tag.vip". Each reader sees it in their own language.
