<title>Twitter</title>

<para>
Twitter allows you to use a set of commands in the Twitter channel/query. See <emphasis>help set commands</emphasis>.
</para>

<para>
Anything that doesn't look like a command will be treated as a new message. Watch out for typos, or to avoid this behaviour, set the <emphasis>commands</emphasis> setting to <emphasis>strict</emphasis>, which causes the <emphasis>post</emphasis> command to become mandatory for posting. See <emphasis>help set commands</emphasis>.
</para>

Here is a short description of the commands available:
