Text formatting and colour codes in TrackMania and ManiaPlanet can be used for players' nicknames, track names and comments, music file comments, server names and comments, and in-game online chats.

Nicknames are limited to 20 characters in TM Original, Sunrise and Nations. Since United, this limitation doesn't exist anymore.

You can also add special Unicode (UTF-8) characters to a name (see TM forum topic).

Colour codes

To add a colour to a name simply input a $ followed by three hexadecimal digits from 0 to f (0123456789abcdef), which represent red, green and blue values ($RGB)

A small selection can be seen below:

$FFF $CCC $999 $666 $333 $000 $FC0 $F90 $F60 $F30
$9C0 $C90 $FC3 $FC6 $F96 $F63 $C30 $C03

Other text formatting

These codes are available in all TrackMania games:

$t Capitals
$i Italic
$s Shadowed
$w Wide spacing
$n Narrow spacing
$m Normal setting
$g Default color
$z Reset all
$$ Write a "$"

In TrackMania United, several new codes have been added:

$o Bold with semi-wide spacing
$h Internal link to a ManiaLink
$l External link to a website

The syntax of the links is the same as in ManiaLinks.

In TrackMania Forever, another new code has been added:

$p Link with player parameters to a script that should return a ManiaLink

The parameters are: ?playerlogin=<login>&lang=<language>&nickname=<nickname>&path=<location> (see TM forum topic for more info).
