CyberTown Markup Language - CTML
People often ask how do I add this or that effect to my inbox in Cybertown. There are
many things you can do in HTML that don't work in Cybertown because your inbox or message
board is only a fraction of the entire code used to make the web page that you see (like
they create the header and footer and background tags and you can just modify some stuff
in between the body tags). OK, so that is where CTML comes in, it allows you to use markup
tags sometimes in places where they would not be valid in HTML. If that is not confusing
enough, I could go on; but I won't. The examples really make it more clear than my
babbling could.
