See also the index of exercises, the index of works of interactive fiction (except for ‘Ruins’ which has its entry in this index), and the appendices and tables. For detailed definitions of library rules, see the entry here on ‘rules given in full’.

Statements, directives and names of things built-in to the Inform language are in typewriter font: thus for (statement), Object (directive), random (built-in function). Typewriter is also used for identifier names defined in the library, such as score (library variable) and NextWord (library routine). For such names, the page reference in bold face is to the detailed description in the Appendix. Verbs are double-quoted: thus “inventory” (library verb). Library files are written thus: "linklpa.h" (library file), ending “.h” even though on some operating systems the filenames omit these endings. Grammatical structures used by the parser are in angle brackets: ‹noun phrase›.

A page reference in the form “123 ex7” means exercise number 7 on page 123. Similarly, “298 an7” means “answer to exercise 7 on page 298”.
