Public Test Build tags

This section is to show off some ideas regarding version tags. Currently we move things from Area 51 to the target page on release day. This means that release day has lots of edits. Copy from Area 51, paste to target destination. If you're updating an existing function, then you need to incorporate any edits that were made to the canon page that happened after the fork to Area 51. Seems like it'll be easier to have things go onto the canonical page once they are accepted into the Public Test Builds. Release day, changing every instance of MudletPTB to MudletVersion|1.0 would be simpler plus allow PTB users to look at documentation without it all being on Area51.

Other ideas

The colors I did so far look like dangerous warnings. Maybe a color themed with the PTB icon would be better.

I picked an existing link for demo but would be good to have a page like Public Test Build with PTB being a redirect alias to it, and the page would have explanation of how you can do conditions in your UI, how to do if X then X() end or use mudletOlderThan and so on.

On the Discord there was idea of dimming the text itself. I have not yet searched for examples of how to accomplish it.

debugc(content, stdout)
