-A collection of functions for displaying or formatting information on the screen.
-==display==
-; display(value)
-: This function will do it's best to show whatever you ask it (a number, string, table, function). This function can be useful for seeing what values does a table have, for example. Note that this doesn't handle recursive references and will loop infinitely at the moment (Mudlet 2.0-test4). If a value is a string, it'll be in single quotes, and if it's a number, it won't be quoted.
-;Example
-<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
--- ask it to display a table
-display({a = "somevalue", 1,2,3})
--- or some other target
-display(target)
-</syntaxhighlight>
-==showColors==
-;showColors(columns, filterColor)
-: shows the named colors currently available in Mudlet's color table. These colors are stored in '''color_table''', in table form. The format is ''color_table.colorName = {r,g,b}''.
-: See Also: [[Manual:Lua_Functions#bg|bg()]], [[Manual:Lua_Functions#fg|fg()]], [[Manual:Lua_Functions#cecho|cecho()]]
-;Parameters
-* ''columns:''
-: Optional: number of columns to print the color table in. Passed as a number.
-* ''filterColor:''
-: Optional: limits the display to only certain colours that contain this word.
-;Example:
-<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
--- display as four columns:
-showColors(4)
--- show only red colours:
-showColors("red")
-</syntaxhighlight>
-The output for this is:
-[[File:ShowColors.png|showColors(4)|border|center]]
