Round two of three on MXP: the content elements. TelnetNegotiationCore#136 is the protocol half (the <SUPPORT> exchange); SharpMUSH's softcode surface and the decision of what to send to whom comes after.

A new package, MarkupString.Mxp, because these are MXP's vocabulary rather than HTML's: rendering them from HtmlMarkup would put one dialect's tags into Pueblo and the browser, which is the mistake this whole line of work started from.

What it renders

MarkupRegistry.Default = MarkupRegistry.Empty.WithAnsi().WithHtml().WithMxp();

var line = MarkupText.Concat(
  MxpElements.Sound("door.wav", volume: 80, url: "https://example.test/sounds/"),
  MarkupText.Plain("The door creaks open."));
MXP HTML everything else
IMAGE the tag <img>, when it carries a URL nothing
SOUND, MUSIC the tag <audio autoplay>, when it carries a URL nothing
GAUGE, STAT the tag a data-entity span for the page to draw nothing
FRAME, VAR the tag around its content a span around its content the content
EXPIRE, RELOCATE, USER, PASSWORD, NOBR, SBR the tag nothing nothing

MxpElements covers the specification; MxpElement.Standalone / .Wrapping write anything it does not.

The carrier

A standalone element is a point in the text, not a property of a span, so it rides on a zero-width space the way the bell in #14 rides on U+0007. Every format either writes the element or writes nothing at all, carrier included — a terminal gets neither the tag nor a stray invisible character. That is what makes one piece of text safe to send to every client, which is the whole point.

Two deliberate limits

  • No capability gating here. Whether a client renders IMAGE is what <SUPPORT> answers, at the telnet layer, and what to do about the answer is the application's.
  • A browser is sent an address only when the element carries an absolute http/https URL of its own. MXP's FName names a file in the game's sound or image directory, which a browser cannot resolve, so those render as nothing rather than a broken fetch.

Tests

MxpElementTests (20): every element's tag form; argument quoting; wrapping elements closing after their content; nothing — carrier included — in ANSI, plain, BBCode and Pueblo; the HTML equivalents; addresses refused; MxpSilentEmitter keeping MXP out of the browser; a serializer round-trip; an element outside the specification; and name checking. 625/625 pass in Release, and the AOT smoke app publishes clean with the new assembly rooted and exercises one of the elements.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the MarkupString.Mxp package for creating MXP elements, including audio, images, gauges, variables, frames, and line controls.
    • Added MXP rendering with support for wrapped and standalone elements, arguments, and JSON serialization.
    • Added HTML equivalents for supported elements, including safe handling of absolute web URLs.
    • Added registration support through WithMxp() for MXP, HTML, and silent fallback rendering.
  • Documentation

    • Added installation guidance and format-specific MXP usage examples.

MXP defines more than styling and links -- sounds, images, gauges, status
text, frames, variables, expiring links, relocation, the login helpers and the
break hints. MxpElements builds each of them, and MxpElement writes one the
specification does not define.

An element that wraps nothing is a point in the text, carried the way a bell
is; one that wraps content marks the text it applies to. A format with no MXP
writes nothing at all, the carrier included, so one piece of text is safe to
send to every client: a terminal is sent neither a tag it would show as text
nor the zero-width space that tag rode on. A browser gets the nearest thing it
has -- an img, an audio, a span a page can draw a gauge from -- and only when
the element carries an absolute http or https URL of its own, since MXP's
FName names a file in the game's own directory that a browser cannot resolve.

Whether a client can render an element is a different question, answered by
MXP's SUPPORT exchange at the telnet layer; what to do about the answer is the
application's.

Handle the default MxpArgument value.

When a caller includes default(MxpArgument) in an MxpElement, MXP rendering reaches MxpArgument.ToString(). Value is null, so Value.Length or Quote(Value) throws a NullReferenceException. Normalize Value to an empty string before formatting.

(tags that were used while in open mode) are automatically closed. Also, when in OPEN mode, any unclosed OPEN tags are automatically closed when a newline is received from the MUD. Note that secure tags are never automatically closed (this is a change from the 0.3 spec). Be sure to close your secure tags sent from the MUD, or use the Reset mode periodically. The concept of the Default mode was added in the 1.0 version of the MXP spec to clarify how the locked tags work, and how the mode is changed when a newline is received. MXP Reference The core of MXP involves "Elements." Elements are like normal HTML tags. For example is an element called "B". It causes text to be bolded. To turn off the bold, the element is used. Each element has a corresponding closing element that starts with a /. The exception are Commands. Commands are elements that do not require a closing tag. For example, the element causes a line break. No closing tag is needed. Borrowing a feature from XML, MXP allows you to define your own elements. This is the true power of MXP. By defining your own elements and giving them short names, you can cause complex output formatting in only a few short characters. In addition to Elements, you can also define "Entities." Entities are like macro string replacements. For example, in HTML, the entity < indicates the < or less-than symbol. Since a normal < symbol is interpreted as the start of an element tag, you must use < to refer to a less-than symbol directly. Entities are accessed by putting a & character in front of the entity name, and terminating the name with a ; character. All of the standard HTML entities are available in MXP, including the &`#nnn`; entity to insert character /nnn into the text stream. Note that nnn values less than 32 are ignored. Of course, like in XML, you can define your own entities in MXP. MUD-defined entities work much like server variables. For example, you could store the player&`#39`;s hit-points in an entity called &hp; Here is a list of each MXP command, along with it&`#39`;s purpose and abbreviation: ... called "RED" which colors text red and makes it bold, you would define it as: And then you could use it in your MUD output like this: This text is bold and red ... -list&`#39`; allows you to define ... or attributes for your ... .

To create an element that would allow you to change the text color, but would default to red, you would do: Then you could use it on the MUD like this: ... This is bold red ...

Examples of such use are: ``` I saw John & Jack&`#39`;cat ``` This would display: ``` I saw John & Jack&`#39`;s cat ``` ## ASCII codes If you want to use other special characters you can supply the ASCII codes in decimal, like this: ``` &`#123`; ``` This would display a character whose ASCII code was 123 (decimal). The table below shows the character that would be displayed for each of the pre-defined entity names. The names in this table are case-sensitive. ## Entity names table | Name | ASCII code | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | Á | 193 | Á | | á | 225 | á | | Â | 194 | Â | | â | 226 | â | | ´ | 180 | ´ | | Æ | 198 | Æ | | æ | 230 | æ | | À | 192 | À | | à | 224 | à | | & | 38 | & | | &apos; | 39 | &`#39`; | | Å | 197 | Å | | å | 229 | å | | Ã | 195 | Ã | | ã | 227 | ã | | Ä | 196 | Ä | | ä | 228 | ä | | ¦ | 166 | ¦ | | Ç | 199 | Ç | | ç | 231 | ç | | ¸ | 184 | ¸ | | ¢ | 162 | ¢ | | © | 169 | © | | ¤ | 164 | ¤ | | ° | 176 | ° | | ÷ | 247 | ÷ | | É | 201 | É | | é | 233 | é | | Ê | 202 | Ê | | ê | 234 | ê | | È | 200 | È | | è | 232 | è | | Ð | 208 | Ð | | ð | 240 | ð | | Ë | 203 | Ë | | ë | 235 | ë | | ½ | 189 | ½ | | ¼ | 188 | ¼ | | ¾ | 190 | ¾ | | > | 62 | > | | Í | 205 | Í | | í | 237 | í | | Î | 206 | Î | | î | 238 | î | | ¡ | 161 | ¡ | | Ì | 204 | Ì | | ì | 236 | ì | | ¿ | 191 | ¿ | | Ï | 207 | Ï | | ï | 239 | ï | | « | 171 | « | | < | 60 | < | | ¯ | 175 | ¯ | | µ | 181 | µ | | · | 183 | · | | | 160 | | | ¬ | 172 | ¬ | | Ñ | 209 | Ñ | | ñ | 241 | ñ | | Ó | 211 | Ó | | ó | 243 | ó | | Ô | 212 | Ô | | ô | 244 | ô | | Ò | 210 | Ò | | ò | 242 | ò | | ª | 170 | ª | | º | 186 | º | | Ø | 216 | Ø | | ø | 248 | ø | | Õ | 213 | Õ | | õ | 245 | õ | | Ö | 214 | Ö | | ö | 246 | ö | | ¶ | 182 | ¶ | | ± | 177 | ± | | £ | 163 | £ | | " | 34 | " | | » | 187 | » | | ® | 174 | ® | | § | 167 | § | | ­ | 173 | ­ | | ¹ | 185 | ¹ | | ² | 178 | ² | | ³ | 179 | ³ | | ß | 223 | ß | | Þ | 222 | Þ | | þ | 254 | þ | | × | 215 | × | | Ú | 218 | Ú | | ú | 250 | ú | | Û | 219 | Û | | û | 251 | û | | Ù | 217 | Ù | | ù | 249 | ù | | ¨ | 168 | ¨ | | Ü | 220 | Ü | | ü | 252 | ü | | Ý | 221 | Ý | | ý | 253 | ý | | ¥ | 165 | ¥ | Page updated on Tuesday, 6 December 2005. <title>MUD eXtension Protocol</title> https://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm In addition to Elements, you can also define "Entities."

The &`#39`;Attribute-list&`#39`; allows you to define arguments or attributes for your element. You can optionally specify the attributes using the MXP command described later, or you can include them in the definition for simplicity. To create an element that would allow you to change the text color, but would default to red, you would do: ... Note that you use an attribute in the element definition by referring to it as an entity. In this case, the temporary entity &col; refers to the color attribute that is passed. The &`#39`;col=red&`#39`; defines the attribute, and gives the default value of &`#39`;red&`#39`;.

Unlike in XML, tags can be broken across entities within MXP as long as when all entities on a line from the MUD are expanded, all of the tags are properly closed (or MXP will close the dangling tags for you). So, the following is valid in MXP: ... Also note that as in XML, entities are case sensitive, so &Start; is different than &start;. Unlike XML, entities can be used anywhere in MXP, even within other tags. However, if an external entity has the same name as an attribute, the attribute within a tag takes precedence.

Validate argument names and escape MXP argument syntax.

MxpArgument.ToString() emits Name unchanged, and Quote() does not quote > or =. A value such as x><USER is therefore emitted unquoted. MXP ends the current element at >, so the trailing > from MxpElement.ToString() completes the injected <USER> element. An invalid argument name containing whitespace or > can cause the same tag split.

The cited x&gt;&lt;RELOCATE evil.example 4201 value is not the exploit. Its spaces cause quoting, and MXP ignores > inside a valid quoted string. &lt; represents literal text.

Validate argument names against the MXP keyword grammar. Escape raw &, <, and > exactly once. Quote values containing > or =. Reject MXP control terminators such as newline and escape; quoting does not protect them.

Enforce the MxpElement.Name invariant on every construction path.

MxpElement exposes a public constructor and init property, so callers can bypass Checked. MxpElementCodec.Read also accepts missing, non-string, empty, and delimiter-bearing e values. MxpElementEmitter writes Name directly into MXP tags, which can produce malformed output or inject additional MXP tags when the input is untrusted.

Validate Name in the constructor and init accessor, or prevent unvalidated assignments. In MxpElementCodec.Read, require a valid string e and throw JsonException for missing or invalid values.

Normalize default Arguments at construction. The public constructor stores default(ImmutableArray&lt;MxpArgument&gt;) unchanged. In .NET 10, enumerating an uninitialized ImmutableArray&lt;T&gt; throws NullReferenceException. Therefore new MxpElement("SOUND", default, false) can reach the registered MxpElementEmitter; Emit calls MxpElement.ToString, and its foreach throws. The HTML emitter has the same risk in Positional and Named. MxpElementCodec.Write returns before enumeration when Length == 0, so the failure is in rendering, not codec writing. Normalize Arguments.IsDefault to ImmutableArray&lt;MxpArgument&gt;.Empty in the public constructor to preserve a non-default invariant.

WithMxp now takes a predicate carrying the answers to MXP's SUPPORT exchange.
An element the client refused is written the way a format without MXP writes
it: nothing for one that stands alone, and the content alone for one that
wraps -- which is the half that matters, since a FRAME a client cannot open
would otherwise take the text inside it somewhere nobody sees. Without a
predicate every element is written; a client that was never asked has not
refused anything.

The HTML audio element loses its autoplay attribute. The tag is standard HTML
rather than anything of Pueblo's, but a browser refuses audible autoplay until
the person has interacted with the page, so it would have played nothing and
said nothing about why. Whether it sounds is the page's decision, from the
data-mxp attribute, as it is for a bell.

Superseded by #18: the per-dialect element API is replaced by one shared vocabulary that MXP, Pueblo, HTML and the terminal each write their own way. The Pueblo vocabulary here also had the sound, speech and prefetch syntax wrong against the client source; the replacement corrects it.
