Inform: control characters in text


Sat, 29 Jul 1995 17:56:26 +0100

Could anyone help (again)?

Is it possible to either edit the functions of control characters in Inform
or to create new ones?

For example, a `^' in text will print a new line. I want to edit it to print
a new line and indent three spaces. Alternatively Id like to define a new
character, say `', which would do this. Ive looked through the library but
cannot find where these things are done (if indeed theyre in the library).

I know I can manually cause an indent by just printing spaces, but it makes
my source look messy! 8(
