Adding a prefix to each output in Inform 7

Authoring Inform 7
1

Hi there,

In Inform 7, is there a way to add a varying chunk of text (set in a variable) at the beginning of each output?

I found a way to change the input prefix ("When play begins: now the command prompt is "What now? "), but how to do quite the same for the answer?

Many thanks for your help!

How often do you want this prefix to appear? Often a single sentence is made up of several different strings, so putting it at the beginning of each string will lead to strange output (“OUT: You OUT: pick up OUT: the book”).

If you want it to appear once per command:

After reading a command: say "OUT: [run paragraph on]".
