Class ChatParser

java.lang.Object
  vooga.social.chat.ChatParser

public class ChatParser
extends java.lang.Object

Parses the text that a user receives, and performs other string decomposition/modification functions for the chat. It will become much more sophisticated, including colors for channels and users, extracting channel names and commands, and changing the output for certain message types, like system messages. This one parses INCOMING messages only. So, it takes a message and formats it as html. All color information, for example, takes place in this one. Preferences are modified here.
