Tokens Reference

Introduction

Actions like replying, voting, configuring, etc. is done with text-based tokens.

A token is just a bit of text which tells the system to do something.

For example, you may submit a "my name is ..." token to share your name.

Other examples include title: ...

A #hashtag is also a type of token you may already be familiar with.

The rest of this document is a reference of tokens the system supports.

Reply

Example: >>0123456789abcdef

The reply token is used in conjunction with either reply text or other tokens.

For example, the "title:" token, used with a reply token, will suggest that title for the item referenced.

Configure

The #config and #resetconfig tokens allow changing configuration.

Example: #config html/avatar_icons 1
