Synopsis:
$nohighlight(<string>)
Technical:
This function returns <string> with all highlight characters escaped.
All ^B, ^V, ^_, ^O, ^C, and ^[ characters will be replaced by an inverse
of their control character, to remove all highlighting.
Practical:
This is a very useful function, which has had many forms in scripts for
a long time. It is especially good to mask out ^C and ANSI color codes
in order to make for color-free output, or in a public message hook to
immune yourself from ANSI-bombs that may mess up a terminal.
Returns:
<string> with no parseable highlight characters, except the reverse used
to show the control character.
Examples:
$nohighlight(this is a test) Returns "this BisB a VtestV"
