No, it doesn't. Thanks for the reminder. The facepunch release post had become so buried that I believed it wouldn't ever get revived again.
I'd forgotten this one is more visible.
I'll update the information on this one.

I guess I could do a dirty hack and include our old resource that allowed for html.
Though, I feel that would be bad practice.

Though doubtful (busy/not in the coding mood), perhaps one day I'll port it for the new Garry's mod html GUI capabilities that our newest ULib and ULX take advantage of.

I am interested though, as I haven't heard anyone discuss it lately...What features did you like/use? Perhaps if well enough, I could the team into incorporating some of them into ULX.

Megiddo:
Why do you feel including the old module would be bad practice? It was made specifically to show the motd window. :P

Because it's a quick hack!
Best practice would be for me to learn and use the new improved and feature rich  Lua HTML gui code as ULX does in v3.1!
:P

I really should get off my butt and learn it. Before falling out of coding mood, I'd make quite a bit of progress with Addon Detection.
I'd added %addons_short% and %addons_long%. Short would show just addon titles(w/version) according to the info.txt of each file, and long would show "title(w/version) by <author>".
Due to the increasing length of the output, I'd also gone to using CSS (not separate files, but inline). Even after that, I'd realized I'd have to split !info into two commands. :)

kingtendo:
Please redo this :-* I really find this useful and am no good at lua coding or html myself. If you do make it again, i think you should make each template more interesting and mabye not green and black for the motd. Thanks dude  :D

Lapsus:
Just gotta get my two cen'ts worth in here too...

I'd really like to see this redone, it was great to be able to have easily-accessible html pages from in-game!
I had this set up on my server with seperate pages for the motd, Clan information, server information, and rules, as well as some small tutorials!
It's just so much easier to be able to ask a player to type a command into chat that to have a gigantic motd, and saying "Oh, scroll about 3/5ths of the way down, the details for rule #2 are around there somewhere"
