Syntax used throughout the Avalon help system
Avalon's help system frequently uses < > brackets to indicate examples of commands that you can enter on your prompt. This file explains the syntax of commands in greater depth.
Throughout the help system you will notice many words within < > brackets. These tend to follow on from actual commands referred to in capital letters. Avalon commands usually take the form <verb> <noun> and <preposition> and syntax examples throughout the help system are displayed in this format. Anything contained within < > brackets should be interpreted as 'any relevant word'. The syntax of the command GET, for instance, would be GET <object> - where in place of <object> you would type in the name of the object you wished to get.
Syntax Examples:
- look at dog The dog is small and young. It is a mere pup. - pat dog You pat the dog in a friendly manner. - get dagger from backpack You retrieve the dagger from your back-pack. - throw dagger at dog You hurl your dagger at the dog. It strikes true!
