This is a little something I wrote for a very specific purpose: In chat roleplay, so that when I type OOC a lot, I do not have to manually add (()) or {} or ({}) or what have you. (I've seen [] used as well). Anyways, when loaded, this script will ask you for text to prepend and append to output text. Then, once that is configured, if you type /bon, all text you input will be sent out with the append and prepend text appended and prepended. Simple. That is how it works. Use it for what you like, but I usually just set it up with prepend { and append }. Oh, one last thing, /boff turns this feature off, when you are done with it. The rest of the few commands it has are in the code comments. //Script to put desired text/characters before and/or after entered text.
//Most common use is for OOC tect in chat RPs, ie: ((This is OOC)) {And this is OOC too!}
//Commands: /setbr to setup, /showbr to show settings, /bon to turn bracketization on, and /boff to turn it off.
