AreaDesc [how] what …
AreaDesc tag AreaDesc tag desc AreaDesc upper tag asis desc
The tosser configuration file normally stores two sorts if information about
a message area: its canonical area tag, like MSGED_ECHO
, and a
description of the area topic, like International Msged support
conference
. The AreaDesc
keyword is used to tell MsgEd TE how to
make up the arealist entry of each area from this information.
The what parameter specifies what to include. TAG
means to use
the areatag, and DESC
means to use the description. You can specify
both parameters separated by a blank like in the example above, in which case
both information will be displayed, separated by a dash.
The how parameter is a modifier for all following what parameters
and specifies how this information should be displayed. It can be
ASIS
, which means to display it as in the config file, or it can be
UPPER
, which means to display anything in upper case, or LOWER
,
i.E. display everything in lower case letters.
The default value if no AreaDesc
keyword is given is asis tag desc
.
