Ok, my question has to do with coloring items in the mud. For instance if I try to color a word like 'you' I'd go in type it in the trigger area and put #CW bold,white.

That works great but then anything with the word you in it has it partly colored. For example it would highlight the y, o , and u in yourself or something. How do I make a boundary?

Thanks!

Hrmm, if I already have it in there it still won't recognize the \b though... is that because I have to put it in originally using the #regex?

You have to change the trigger to a regex trigger checking the "Regular Expression" option at the bottom left

That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks much.

%q is exactly the same as \b, but \b is for regexes and %q is for normal triggers. I reiterate this just to make it clear, in case you have any triggers using the normal syntax that don't want to (or don't know how to) change into regexes.
