→The chat window: kbd, rewordings and layout
==The chat window ==
Slash commands are typed in the console. These always start with a forward slash (EG. "<kbd>/wiki"</kbd>).
===Linking items in chat===
===Ghost-chat===
To enable ghost chat simply click the little red cross. That is, click the close button instead of using the chat toggle key. From there on, the chat will only appear when someone talks, and will disappear again after a few seconds. In addition, the chat appears somewhat transparent. It reduces clutter and adds a little to immersion. You can configure how long the ghost-chat should last in Options > GUI and Windows, along with the transparency level.
===Chat rooms===
You can create and join chat rooms. Users automatically start in the "Trade" and "Help" channels. You can:
