Tags for effects

The software uses tags to add an effect to your message.

When you add an effect, the software inserts the corresponding tag at the cursor position.

You can only use 1 effect per category: if you insert 2 tags for moving speed, only the first one will
be taken into account.

If you add leading and closing effects, make sure to insert the tag for the leading effect before the
closing effect.

For other effect tags, the cursor position is not important: the effect applies to the entire message,
no matter where you insert the tag.
