Line breaks on following rules

Authoring Inform 7
#1

The following code says 12 for nofol and 1, (line break), 2 for fol. I’m curious as to why, and I’m also curious as to how to get rid of things. The actual test case isn’t this simple–but basically, I can have a hint topic that is on, off or rule-based…and if it is rule-based, an extra carriage return comes out.

[code]room 1 is a room.

chapter nofoling

nofoling is an action out of world.

understand the command “nofol” as something new.

understand “nofol” as nofoling.

carry out nofoling:
say “1”;
say “2”;
the rule succeeds;

chapter foling

foling is an action out of world.

understand the command “fol” as something new.

understand “fol” as foling.

carry out foling:
say “1”;
follow the xyz rule;
say “2”;
the rule succeeds;

this is the xyz rule:
the rule succeeds;[/code]

Thanks!

Trouble with Inform 7 line/paragraph breaks...
#2

Never mind. I found this in another topic.

To skip upcoming rulebook break: (- say__pc = say__pc | PARA_NORULEBOOKBREAKS; -).

This is a handy workaround in 6L, since CONSIDER no longer works.

I apologize for not replying on this topic, but I can never remember how it works either. :confused:

Oh, no problem at all. I actually performed a few weak searches, then I found the right one.

This sounds like something that is good for a general knowledge base, if we ever get one. And it’s good to know that people more proficient in Inform than I am find it tricky, too. So it’s not just me.

At any rate, you did answer this question :slight_smile: …
