This PR changes the message pipeline a little bit to support list-based messages, which can be annotated with custom data. Function signature of to_chat was slightly changed as well:
// Plain text message
to_chat(client,
type = MESSAGE_TYPE_INFO,
text = "foo")
// HTML message
to_chat(client,
type = MESSAGE_TYPE_INFO,
html = "<span class='notice'>foo</span>")
Old to_chat format is still supported, but handle_whitespace, trailing_newline and confidential flags have no effect. confidential flag could still be revived though, if there is enough merit in it, for example to filter out confidential messages when saving a chat log.
The reason for using /list and not /datum, is because lists are plain faster, and there are minimal data transformations - these lists are fed directly to json_encode and sent to tgchat.
Plain text messages do not need to be HTML-escaped, which makes them safer and more performant than HTML messages. Plain text messages can be made interactive (or formatted with CSS) by custom-handling them in javscript based on message type and annotations.
It would be impossible to annotate every single message in the game (at the moment of writing, there are 9447 to_chat calls in the code), but it could be done selectively, for only those messages that are hard to classify by span classes (and there are still A LOT of them).
Please annotate more messages. Thank you.
