| Elements are like HTML tags.
eg.
<bold> <color red>
They start with a "<" and end with a ">".
Elements may not contain a "<" or ">" symbol, unless inside quotes.
Quotes
You may use quotes inside an element, in which case you may use "<" or ">" inside the quotes. You should use quotes where an argument (parameter) to a tag contains spaces or other special characters.
eg.
<send "go west">
Single or double quotes are permitted. Whichever quote is used, the other one is permitted inside the quotes.
<send "take 'large sword'">
You can use entities inside elements to represent characters that are otherwise hard to use, in particular:
' - single quote
" - double quote ( or " )
You might do this if you needed to use a single quote within a quoted string, eg.
<send 'take "'Nick's sword"'>
(ie. this would send: take "Nick's sword" )
Defining your own elements
You can extend the language by defining your own elements, eg. if you want to use bold and underline a lot together you could do this:
<!ELEMENT bu '<b><u>' >
This defines "bu" as <b><u>.
So, you could use it like this:
You see a <bu>large</bu> rabbit!
