# /substitute ## Syntax **/substitute list**\ \&#xNAN;**/substitute \[** ***orig*** **delete|*****new*** **]** ## Description Allows you to create custom midline substitutions. They can be called from any alias or commandline by using the percent sign (%). * Substitutions do not currently work in macros. * You don't use the percent signs when creating the substitutions or editing your config file. * You can use MQ's substitutions without spaces around them (unlike EQ's!). * You can use EQ's wildcards (ie: %t) within your substitutions, however, you have to leave spaces around them (yes, they suck). * You cannot CURRENTLY replace EQ wildcards with MQ substitutions (eg. you can't make a replacement for %m). ## Example ``` /substitute mom Mother /substitute omg Oh my god! /substitute k "%omg, kill %t before I tell your %mom" ``` If you typed "/say %k", it would produce: ``` Oh my god!, kill targetname before I tell your Mother ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
