Formspec
--------
Formspec defines a menu. Currently not much else than inventories are
supported. It is a string, with a somewhat strange format.
Spaces and newlines can be inserted between the blocks, as is used in the
examples.
Examples:
- Chest:
size[8,9]
list[current_name;main;0,0;8,4;]
list[current_player;main;0,5;8,4;]
- Furnace:
size[8,9]
list[current_name;fuel;2,3;1,1;]
list[current_name;src;2,1;1,1;]
list[current_name;dst;5,1;2,2;]
list[current_player;main;0,5;8,4;]
Elements:
size[<W>,<H>]
^ Define the size of the menu in inventory slots
^ deprecated: invsize[<W>,<H>;]
list[<inventory location>;<list name>;<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;]
^ Show an inventory list
image[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<texture name>]
^ Show an image
^ Position and size units are inventory slots
field[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<name>;<label>;<default>]
^ Textual field; will be sent to server when a button is clicked
^ x and y position the field relative to the top left of the menu
^ w and h are the size of the field
^ fields are a set height, but will be vertically centred on h
^ Position and size units are inventory slots
^ name is the name of the field as returned in fields to on_receive_fields
^ label, if not blank, will be text printed on the top left above the field
^ default is the default value of the field

will fill the value from the metadata value 'text'
^ Note: no extra text or more than a single variable is supported ATM.
