Version 1 of Trivial Extension by Andrew Plotkin begins here.
Version 2 of Trivial Extension by Andrew Plotkin begins here.
"This is the rubric of the extension."
"provided for the Linguist package by Andrew Plotkin"
[Note the two special quoted lines above.]
A cow is a kind of animal. A cow can be purple.
Understand "cow" as a cow.
Understand "purple" as a purple cow.
Check pushing a cow:
instead say "Cow-tipping, at your age?[paragraph break]Inconceivable."
[Here are the possible levels of heading:]
Volume One
Text-line is always "A line of text."
Book 2
Part the third - indented headings still count
Chapter IV - not for release
[Heading labels are case-insensitive.]
section foobar
[A line beginning "Volume" that does not have blank lines before and after it is *not* a header line. So the following is part of section foobar:]
Measure is a kind of value.
Volume is a measure. Length is a measure.
Area is a measure.
[And now some Inform 6 inclusions.]
To say em -- running on:
(- style underline; -).
To say /em -- running on:
(- style roman; -).

Object i6cow

with description "It looks like a cow.";
has animate scenery;
-) after "Global Variables" in "Output.i6t".
Trivial Extension ends here.
---- DOCUMENTATION ----
Everything after the "---- DOCUMENTATION ----" line is documentation, so it should have the comment style.
However, tab-indented lines are sample Inform code within the documentation:
Horns are a kind of thing. Every cow has horns.
So we need to allow for that.

A purple cow called Gelett is in the Kitchen.

Check smelling Gelett:
say "This text contains several lines.
A blank line is displayed as a paragraph break,
but a simple line break is not.";
stop the action.
Section - cow catching
Gelett has a number called the mooness.
