usefulness. Only one (the releasing agent < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > inblorb< / span > < / code > ) is included in the
GUI apps for Inform; the others are for building and maintenance.

< p class = "inwebparagraph" > These tools are not very modular: each consists of just a single web, but
supplemented with a single module, the < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > foundation< / span > < / code > library shared by
every Inform tool.
< / p >
< p class = "inwebparagraph" > < a id = "SP2" > < / a > < b > § 2. < / b > Users of the Inform GUI apps generally write and test their work inside
the app, but eventually click Release to export a stand-alone program.
< code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > inblorb< / span > < / code > is the tool which performs this releasing stage. It can package
code up into a standard IF format known as a "blorb", whence the name, and
can also make accompanying websites.

< p class = "inwebparagraph" > < a id = "SP3" > < / a > < b > § 3. < / b > < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > indoc< / span > < / code > is a formatter for the two Inform manuals contained inside the
GUI app and on the < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > www.inform7.com< / span > < / code > website. This is a more complex task
than may appear, since the manuals are indexed and interlinked in intricate
ways, and share Examples.

< p class = "inwebparagraph" > < a id = "SP4" > < / a > < b > § 4. < / b > < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > inpolicy< / span > < / code > is a lint-like tool for checking that the Inform source base
complies with some self-imposed social norms.

< p class = "inwebparagraph" > < a id = "SP5" > < / a > < b > § 5. < / b > < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > inrtps< / span > < / code > is a tiny tool which generates run-time-problem pages, the HTML
pages displayed in the GUI app when various problems occur as the user
tests something she has written.
< / p >
< p class = "inwebparagraph" > < a id = "SP6" > < / a > < b > § 6. < / b > Note that the < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > intest< / span > < / code > and < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > inweb< / span > < / code > tools have their own repositories and
source websites, and that the < code class = "display" > < span class = "extract" > inform6< / span > < / code > compiler, which is illiterate and
thus not a web, is not here either.
