What about 'bane' instead of *slay*?
So "Foo of *slay* orc" becomes "Foo (Orcbane)", "*slay* demon" becomes "(Demonbane)", etc. |

We could in fact take the occasion to rename
*slay* X -> X's bane *healing* -> greater healing *remove curse* -> remove heavy curse (seems more noob-friendly: that's what it does, isn't it?) *enlightenment* -> greater enlightenment, or greater knowledge Just sayin', too. Ok, but that's cheating --- I agree with d_m, we shouldn't let the doc format force decisions on game content. I'd say let me ponder for some other days on RST's documentation, maybe there is a better way out that has eluded me. Of course anyone else, with or without previous RST experience, is free to suggest solutions. Maybe there's a clever use of "interpreted text" or "substitution directives" that I am now missing. There's another problem that I forgot in my previous message, and that we could in fact turn into a feature to our advantage: there is already some "markup" in the lib/help files, namely, the lines starting with asterisks in text such as Quote:
So in fact we're not talking really "readable TXT" + "valid RST", but rather "readable TXT-with-some-extra-interpreted-markup" + "valid RST": maybe if we design this additional markup language well we can have it interact well with RST.

I'd say Enlightenment => Wizard Sight; *Enlightenment* => Enlightenment. But that's just me.

An rST reference can replace menu items, and an rST internal hyperlink target should suffice to replace tags. The show_file() routine could be modified to read the subset of rST we decide to use in the help files. (I hope that subset is very small.) |
