I've got the DoT mud up and running fine. I would like to know how to format the way the rooms look. For example, to add a dotted line between the room name and description.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

In the code, you'll want to look for a function called 'do_look', which is what is called when players look at their surroundings. In there, there will be a line that displays the room name followed by the room description -- that's where you'll want to add the code that will output a dotted line.

I don't think this can be done via configuration without programming, unfortunately.
