	[hr]
	[hr][hr]
	[hr][hr][hr]

Notes:

• Remember to always close any formatting so it does not bleed over into text you do not want affected.
  • The [hr] tag is the only one that does not use this, as it is considered a one time use and does not continue to affect text.

Colored Text

The color values are Red, Green, and Blue represented by a hex value. The first 2 digits are the Red value. the middle two represent the Green value. the last 2 are the Blue value. By mixing these in varied amounts you can achieve 16,777,216 different colors.

• Pure Red is [hex=FF0000]
• Pure Green is [hex=00FF00]
• Pure Blue is [hex=0000FF]
• Pure white is all three colors at their highest value [hex=FFFFFF]
• Black is all three at their lowest value [hex=000000]
• To make gray, keep all three color values equal in number and make it a value between 00 and FF ex. [hex=454545]
• To make other colors mix red, green, and blue in appropriate amounts. E.g.: [hex=AAFF00] or [hex=21A54F] etc.
• More Color Codes.

Special Characters / Symbols

An assortment of special ASCII characters can be found through out the game (in peoples' names, gang tags, signatures, etc...). To find and access these characters on your computer:

1. Click Start
   
2. Select "Run..."
   
3. Enter "charmap.exe"
   
4. Click "Okay"
   

Alternately, on most computers, it can be found here:

Start → All Programs → Accessories → System Tools → Character Map

Keep in mind that some of the Arabic symbols are banned, because they change the direction the characters are read, and can cause problems with the coding. So please, avoid using them.
