Having the player ask a question

Authoring Inform 7
1

I have this part where the player needs to ask a question. Inform wouldn’t allow the question mark to be included. How do I fix that? Should I use “ask [text]…” or something like that?

Understand "say [text] to [woman poster]" as answering it that (with nouns reversed).

After answering the woman poster that "Where's the beef":
	say "A recorded voice answers back [italic type]'It's at Taco John's!'[roman type].".

This will fix your question mark issue, but not responses like “Ask woman about beef”:

Include Punctuation Removal by Emily Short.

After reading a command:
	remove question marks.

(I’m pretty sure “Punctuation Removal” is one of the built-in extensions, so you don’t need to download anything.)
