First of all: Not every technical definition exists in an RFC. This is functionality that every other MUD client has, and even basic telnet apps like Windows telnet.exe and puttytel.exe also support. There is support for TABs in HTML and CSS as well. It's a well supported character across the spectrum.
But to answer your question: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc654 and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc659 For more: http://www.thoughtproject.com/libraries/telnet/Reference/RFCs.htm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099688 Title: does not resolve the \t character Status in Mudlet the MUD client: New Bug description: Mudlet does not seem to support the \t character (tab). On muds where this is used, Mudlet prints nothing. It does not indent at all. What is expected is either showing the tab character or 8 spaces, but neither happens, and things that are aligned using tabs make things look all wonky, like maps, etc. Mudlet: 2.1 OS: OSX 10.8.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mudlet/+bug/1099688/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mudlet-makers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mudlet-makers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
