                        Feature request: Colored PETSCII
It would be nice if there was a way to display colored PETSCII inline. For instance have an embedded keyword which will be interpreted to load a file (like those created by PETSCII-Editor by Fieserwolf) from disk, rather than be displayed by the intetpreter.
That way you could embed something like {PETSCII:filename} in your inform output, and when Ozmoo renders it, it will load the file inline.
This would bring relatively cheap graphics of any size to your adventure games. Bonus if text could flow around a smaller petscii image, to create stylized starting letters, etc. Maybe add a style to the command like {PETSCII:filename:flow}.
Similarly this could be used to load SID files for music and sound effects?
Maybe utilize REU support to speed this up further if available.
