5.1.3 Initial Punctuation in Commands

The server interprets command lines that begin with any of the following characters specially:

 
"        :        ;

Before processing the command, the initial punctuation character is replaced by the corresponding word below, followed by a space:

 
say      emote    eval

For example, the command line

 
"Hello, there.

is transformed into

 
say Hello, there.

before parsing.
