I have color syntax enabled and configured. When I copy and paste into the editor, it shows the text with the right color, but when I use send to feed the lines back into the mud, it removes the color codes and comes out without any color at all.

Zmud has a setting for that, but I can't find it anywhere in the Cmud editor.

Try #SENDRAW instead of #SEND?

Neither one sends the contents of the editor to the screen. The only send buttons I see on the editor are Send, Send line, and Send selected.

I mean the text editor and not the package editor.

Oh... those aren't sent because most MUDs don't understand them...
Usually of you are sending colored text to the game, it will have its own custom markup tags.
If you are just trying to print text to the window yourself, you need to use the markup that CMUD likes.

Yes, but enabling and configuring color syntax means that I can use the & color codes when I copy colors from the screen and paste into the command line, so shouldn't the editor do the same thing? Otherwise, why would the editor even color the text it has at all?

Because the editor is a full richtext editor i believe.
It has features that are relevant to word processors but not to the rest of CMUD.
The point was to reduce the need for another program to be open, and to allow for massive copy/pastes without relying on the command bar alone.
