OCC Chat command not working.

The occ chat command listed on the Roll20 wiki is nonfunctional. Doing /occ returns unknown command error and doing /o submits the text as normal chat without it's special formatting.
Are you looking to do "out of character?" That would be /ooc not /occ. You can also use the shorthand of /o for this: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Chat_Commands" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Chat_Commands</a>

Opps yeah I did mess up and do occ and not ooc. However that last one is me trying to use /o. As you can see it's not formatted in the way the wiki says it would be. And I just retried it using /ooc, it as well is not formated as intended.

Hmm. It does seem to be missing the "light grey highlight." I'll bring this to the Devs and see if they have any light to shed on the situation. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Just wanted to add that I've noticed this same issue (no highlighting) both with /o and /ooc.

I never realized /ooc was supposed to be grey. Every message I post to the chat is blue (normal text, not emotes/etc.), and every message someone else posts to chat is grey. I simply assumed that was the way it was meant to be! /ooc is a convenient way to speak as "myself" while I have some character selected in the Speaking As dropdown, without having to move my mouse away from the tabletop to change the selection.

After reading this I noticed that it will actually does the reverse of /as. It ignores whatever character you have selected and instead sends it as the player itself. Perhaps they changed what they intended the command to do but never updated the wiki to reflect this change.

Yeah I think this is a documentation error rather than a programming bug. /ooc just allows you to not have to change the drop-down selection from a character to yourself -- it always shows as the "player". No special formatting intended. I've updated the docs.
