 The chat is split up into several categories. It usually only shows messages for the current map view. It may lag behind if Niantic’s servers are slow. It also has a minimum radius of six km. This means that even if you zoom in very much, it will still show messages from a larger area around you.
 
 **The chat categories are:**
-- full: shows all automated messages *(23:57	<apj>	destroyed an L3 Resonator on Two Spikes)*
+- full: shows all automated messages *(23:57	\<apj\>	destroyed an L3 Resonator on Two Spikes)*
 - compact: shows exactly one automated message per user
 - public: shows user generated public messages (both Enlightenment and Resistance can read it)
 - faction: shows messages for own faction (e.g. only Resistance can read Resistance messages)
