color trigger problem
 
I searched the site for this, but couldn't find anything after some searching, anyway...

I am making color triggers for combat, and coloring lines for when I attack one color, when I am attacked another color, and what kind of attack it is (stab, slash, hit, etc.) in some other color.

What I want to know is: how can I get zmud to only color words when they match exactly? For example I have "hit" colored bold green. But this will also color the word "hit" when it is inside the word (white) w"hit"e. And I want "red" displayed in red. But it also colors "red" in the word (colored) colo"red".

Thanks!

There are two methods, both of which would work.

The simple method is, include the spaces on either side.. hit is not usually the first or last word.
The method that works without spaces is to instead surround it with: %q

#TR {%qred%q} {#CW 12}
#TR {%qhit%q} {#CW high,green}
