Using text commands
You can access most chat functions by using special text commands that begin with the “/” symbol.
This should be enabled in settings.
All text commands consist of a command and optional arguments, divided by a single space. The following list defines all text commands with all possible arguments. Argument descriptions and required punctuation symbols are enclosed in angled brackets.
