Entities and MXP Elements Editor

An Entity is both a special variable that can be used in scripts, and an html entity that a is often used as an escape sequence for reserved characters, but which Siplet can use to substitute any of the defined variable values.

Like other editors, you can customize your global Entities from the Global Options/Entities menu, or customize the Entities that apply only to the active mud window's phonebook entry through the Window/Entities menu.

The top list field in the Entities editor allows you to either begin adding a new entity, or editing or deleting an existing one from the list. When adding or editing an entry, Red fields will denote those with invalid or missing data. Changes to an Entity will not be submitted so long as a Red field exists. The fields are as follows:

• Name: The unique name of your Entity/Variable. If a phonebook entity name collides with a global entity name, then the phonebook one will be preferred.
• Value: The stored value of that variable.

MXP Elements Editor

The MXP Elements field is a place to enter MXP tags, especially <!ELEMENT tags and definitions that either override those from existing muds, or add new functionality. This document is applied whenever a new Siplet window is opened, and not even another secure tag from the mud can override them. If you are logged into a mud with MXP enabled, the Load button can be used to fill in all of the non-standard element definitions, giving you an idea of the kind of elements that your mud will send. The MXP editor must be empty for the Load button to be visible.
