<h1>EvMore<a class="headerlink" href="#evmore" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>When sending a very long text to a user client, it might scroll beyond of the height of the client
window. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evennia.utils.evmore.EvMore</span></code> class gives the user the in-game ability to only view one
page of text at a time. It is usually used via its access function, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">evmore.msg</span></code>.</p>
<p>The name comes from the famous unix pager utility <em>more</em> which performs just this function.</p>
<p>To use the pager, just pass the long text through it:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">evennia.utils</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">evmore</span>
<span class="n">evmore</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">msg</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">receiver</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">long_text</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Where receiver is an <a class="reference internal" href="Objects.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">Object</span></a> or a <a class="reference internal" href="Accounts.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">Account</span></a>. If the text is longer than the
clients screen height (as determined by the NAWS handshake or by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">settings.CLIENT_DEFAULT_HEIGHT</span></code>)
the pager will show up, something like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p>[…]
aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit
esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur
sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui
officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>
</div></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div><p>(<strong>more</strong> [1/6] retur<strong>n</strong>|<strong>b</strong>ack|<strong>t</strong>op|<strong>e</strong>nd|<strong>a</strong>bort)</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>where the user will be able to hit the return key to move to the next page, or use the suggested
commands to jump to previous pages, to the top or bottom of the document as well as abort the
paging.</p>
<p>The pager takes several more keyword arguments for controlling the message output. See the
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/blob/main/evennia.utils.evmore">evmore-API</a> for more info.</p>
