Description
Use journal to generate a journal tracking/searching object. Journal takes no arguments and returns a closure with numerous methods simplifying journal access. All methods work on a passive internal copy of the UO journal, with the exception of refresh, nextline, and clear. Those all cause the internal copy of the journal to be updated with any new data from the associated client journal. For more information, see the associated member methods.
Journal is inspired by and partially modeled upon Kal In Ex's journal library.
