In IRC, commands start with a forward slash, so if you want to use a forward slash as the first character of a line, you have to escape the forward slash.  This is done by using two forward slashes.  For example, if you wanted to say "/cs aop #chan add nick is the command to add somebody to the auto-op list", you would type in the input line the following:

{{articles}}

In IRC, commands start with a forward slash ("/"), so when you want to use a forward slash as the first character of a non-command Message, you have to escape the forward slash. In the Mibbit client, this is done via the escape command:

For example, if you wanted to send the message "/cs aop #chan add nick is the command to add somebody to the auto-op list", you would type in the input line the following:

//cs aop #chan add nick is the command to add somebody to the auto-op list
