When varying descriptions are being given for kinds of rooms or things, it can be useful to make use of a special value called "item described", which refers to the particular one being looked at right now. For example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A musical instrument is a kind of thing. The tuba and the xylophone are musical instruments. The description of a musical instrument is usually "An especially shiny, well-tuned [item described]."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The tuba now has the description "An especially shiny, well-tuned tuba.", and similarly for the xylophone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The "item described" value can similarly be used in any textual property of a room or thing, and in particular can be used with the "initial appearance" and "printed name" properties, which are also forms of description.
