Append is an advanced and much more powerful form of the description command. Upon entering APPEND mode, you will be shown your present description (or lack of). This can then be edited, formatted, replaced, cleared, or shown, as per the following commands.
If you do not have a description, you may just begin entering your description. After you are finished, press enter to go to a blank line. If you make a typo, you can use the replace command to replace the word, or even a whole sentence. When you are finished, and there are no typos, use the format command to format the lines to a regulated size. This also makes the description look much cleaner. Upon formatting, when you feel you are finished, hit enter to go to a blank line then type @ and press enter to save your description.
If you already have a description, any line you type upon entering will be added to the bottom of the current description. If you wish to start from scratch, use the clear command. Use the above instructions for completing the description.
Commands: .r 'old string' 'new string' - replaces a given word or string of words.
(The quotes are REQUIRED.)
.h - The help screen, shows a quick list of commands available in the append mode.
.s - Shows your current description as you have entered it.
.f - Format and wordwrap your description to a regulated size.
.n - Note format and wordwrap your description to a regulated size.
a note format doesn't put 2 spaces after a fullstop, this has the advantage of not converting email addresses into someone@somewhere. Com.
.c - Clear the description. Everything. (CAUTION: There is NO warning issued with this command. Be careful.)
@ - End description. This will send you back to the mud and save your description.
Note - All commands must have a . preceding them.
