Appendix H: Appendix - Output Formats

The Age of Gods can produce its output in several formats. The output format is controlled by the format command.

TEXT format is the standard, Olympia-style output. It contains plain text and can be read by any mail reader.

HTML format uses HTML to enhance the turn report with active links and better formatting. It can be read by many mail readers, and is also the format used for the Web-based turn reports.

TAGS format is similar to TEXT format, but contains embedded XML-like markers. This format is intended read and processed by a computer program.

Finally, the RAW format is completely unprocessed and is intended only for people who want to build their own post-processing tools.
