-What is it?
-~~~~~~~~~~~

- Internet Relay Chat, see http://irchelp.org for more information about IRC

-
-
-Requirements:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- * GTK+ 2.10
- * GLib 2.12
-
- HexChat is known to work on, at least:
-
- * Windows XP/Vista/7/8
- * Linux

-
-Notes for packagers:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you need your packages to work on i386, you don't need to compile with
- --disable-mmx, because it's also checked at run-time.
-
-
-Python Scripts:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Scripts for XChat 1.8.x are not compatible, a brand new interface has been
- written. The documentation can be found here:
-
- https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/wiki/Python-Interface
-
- Consider using the Python interface for your scripts, it's a very nice
- API, allows for loading/unloading individual scripts, and gives you
- almost all the features of the C-Plugin API.
-
-
-Perl Scripts:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Perl 5.8 or newer is required. The documentation can be found here:
-
- https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/wiki/Perl-Interface
-
- Scripts for XChat 1.8.x are compatible with the following exceptions:
-
- * IRC::command will not interpret %C, %B, %U etc.
-
- * user_list and user_list_short:
-  If a user has both op and voice, only the op flag will be 1.
-
- * add_user_list/sub_user_list/clear_user_list
-  These functions do nothing.
-
- * notify_list
-  Not implemented. Always returns an empty list.
-
- * server_list
-  Lists servers that are not connected aswell.
-
- * Some print events may have new names and some were added.
-
- * Text printed by scripts must now be UTF8.
-
- * Text passed to scripts (via add_message_handler) will be encoded in UTF8.
-
-
-Autoloading Scripts and Plugins:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The root of your HexChat config is:
-
- * Windows: %APPDATA%\HexChat
- * Unix: ~/.config/hexchat
-
- Referred to as <config> from now. HexChat automatically loads, at startup:
-
- * <config>/addons/*.lua Lua scripts
- * <config>/addons/*.pl Perl scripts
- * <config>/addons/*.py Python scripts
- * <config>/addons/*.tcl Tcl scripts
- * <config>/addons/*.dll Plugins (Windows)
- * <config>/addons/*.so Plugins (Unix)
-
-
-Control Codes:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- %%     -  A single percentage sign
- %C     -  Control-C (mIRC color code)
- %B     -  Bold Text
- %U     -  Underline Text
- %R     -  Reverse Text
- %O     -  Reset all Text attributes
- %XXX   -  ASCII XXX (where XXX is a decimal 3 digit number)
-           (Eg: %007 sends a BEEP)
-
- %Cforeground,background will produce a color code, eg: %C03,10
-
- These are now disabled by default (see Settings > Prefs > Input Box).
- Instead you can insert the real codes via ctrl-k, ctrl-b and ctrl-o.
