Furcadia/Furcadia Specifications/File Formats/TXB
From FurcadiaWiki
The Text-Binary format, or TXB, is a very simple file format used by DragonSpeak scripts to reference text entries. Each line consists of a line identifier (usually the same as the line number the line is currently on minus 2, but must be a number), a colon, and the text associated with that identifier. In the official Furcadia client, this file is created from the DragonSpeak file just before uploading a dream, in which the DragonSpeak file will change its text entries into numerical entries corresponding with the lines of the TXB file.
Also, unlike most Furcadia-related files, the line endings for a TXB file are the UNIX-style linefeed character, not the Windows-style carriage-return and linefeed combination.
In many dreams, the TXB file is accompanied by an identical copy of itself in TXT format (text/plain). The reason for this is still unknown.

Before
Here is a sample DS file before any upload has been started.
DSPK V03.00 Furcadia
(0:0) When everything is starting up,
(5:210) set entrytext to {Welcome to this dream!}.
(5:105) set entrymusic to 1.
(0:9) When somebody arrives in the dream,
(1:70) and their name is {Yamake Takahashi},
(5:102) share dream control with the triggering furre.
*Endtriggers* 8888 *Endtriggers*
After
Two files are the result of the aftermath: the TXB file, and the modified DS file.
Text-Binary File
Here is the TXB file that resulted from the upload request (notice how DS lines that require furre names end up with pipes instead of spaces):
DST10 0:Master Socket kidnapped my kiwi! 1:Welcome to this dream! 2:Yamake|Takahashi
DragonSpeak Script
Here is the DragonSpeak script that was modified during the upload:
