|
||
<p>In ENiGMA½, a message base is divided into two logical grouping components: <strong>Message Conferences</strong> and <strong>Areas</strong>. Message conferences are top level containers while areas are for a specific topic. Messages are always stored internally with a area tag.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="conferences">Conferences</h2>
|
||
<p>Message Conferences are the top level container for <em>1:n</em> Message <em>Areas</em> via the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">messageConferences</code> block in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code>. A common setup may include a local conference and one or more conferences each dedicated to a particular message network such as fsxNet, ArakNet, etc.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Each conference is represented by a entry under <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">messageConferences</code>. Each entries top level key is it’s <em>conference tag</em>.</p>
