Command Emotes
Several commands allow you to provide an additional emote to the output of the command.
Syntax:
<command> (pre-emote) <arguments> [post-emote]
Example:
> sit -nodding with dwarf (his eyes glancing towards ~elf)
Nodding, you sit at a long table, his eyes glancing towards the elf.
Both the pre-emote and post-emote are optional.
Multiple options exist for specifying a command emote. A one-word emote, like "nodding", can be specified with a preceding dash, like -nodding. More complex emotes can be enclosed in parantheses (), square brackets [], or asterisks **.
You can specify command emotes anywhere in the arguments to a command. If you include parenthesis () and square brackets in the same command, the parenthesis will always be considered pre-emote and square brackets the post-emote, regardless of where they appear in the arguments.
Examples:
> say -gruffly Got any spice?
Gruffly, you ask, in sirihish, 'Got any spice?"
> say [in a low voice] You got any spice?
In a low voice, you ask, in sirihish: 'You got any spice?'
> north *limping heavily*
> look elf (with contempt)
With contempt, you look at the elf.
> look elf [with contempt]
You look at the elf, with contempt.
> look elf with contempt
