%B Use the broadcast attribute (???).
%C Execute the line as if the user entered it as a command.
%E Use the error attribute (red).
%I Use the info attribute (yellow). This is the same was %W.
%M Normal chat message (white). This will appear as if the user said it.
%T Emote chat message (???). This will appear as if the user said it.
%W Use the warning attribute (yellow). This is the same was %I.
Within a line, any of the following format formatters may be used:
%% Expand to a literal percent sign (%).
%a Expand to the number of accounts on the server.
%c Expand to the number of channels on the server. This includes all permanent and current temporary channels.
%g Expand to the number of games on the server. This includes both public and private (passworded) games.
%h Expand to the hostname of the server (as returned by gethostname(2)).
%i Expand to this user's account ID number, formatted with a leading pound (#) sign and leading zeros.
%l Expand to this user's current chat name which is usually the same
