Summary	0005473: Make the IRCd send codes like \x02 as bold, \x01 as italic, etc, in the MOTD
Description	Idea: \x02Welcome to network $network-name\x02 - This would be seen by the IRC client in bold text \x01Join #Help for help with IRC commands\x01 - This would be seen as italic text by the IRC client \x034Don't spam, flood, advertise\x03 - This would be seen as red text by the IRC client I believe that most of the IRC clients do support this feature though. Cheers!

So just throw your bold/underline/etc codes in there directly. I think you should get an editor which can handle this properly. Is that brutal to say ? :D
