Documentation

If non-nil, display IRC colors and other highlighting effects.

If this is set to the symbol remove, ERC removes all IRC colors and highlighting effects. When this variable is non-nil, it can cause Emacs to run slowly on systems lacking sufficient CPU speed. In chatty channels, or in an emergency (message flood) it can be turned off to save processing time. See erc-toggle-interpret-controls.
