The Plots
Each plot is of the form:
<title>Title of the Plot</title>
<author>Author's Name
<email>if no email, then ommit this tag</email>
</author>
<length>only one tag allowed</length>
<setting>any number of tags allowed</setting>
<genre>only one tag allowed</genre>
<type>any number of tags allowed</type>
<plot>
The plot begins here.
Paragraphs are denoted with empty lines between them. Like this one.
If you need dividers between bigger portions of text then use any number
of dashes, e.g.:
----------The dashes should start at the beginning of the line. You can also use
other characters for dividing lines, e.g.:
=================
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
If you need to emphasise a word then enclose it in "*", "_", or "+". For
example: You see a *big* tower with a _huge_ door and a +strong+
porticullis.
If you want to specify a list then use the "list" tags:
<list>
* This is the first element.
* You can specify unnumbered lists while using "*", "+", or "-" as the
first character of a list item, optionally followed by a ")" or ":"
* you can specify numbered lists while using either a number [0-9] or a
character [a-zA-Z], followed by a ".", ")", or ":"
</list>
If you need to preserve line feeds then use the "stats" tags. For example
if you have a small map like
<stats>
+-------+
| o
|
|
|
|
=
|
m |
+-------+
<- Monster
</stats>
If you have descriptions of villains you can use the "villain" tags. All
descriptions are put together in a section at the end of the plot.
<villain>
This is the description of the bodyguard of the mighty wizard.
<stats>
Name: Hulk Hogan
Strength: 20
Intelligence: 5
...
</stats>
He likes flowers but hates men who are bigger then himself.
</villain>
Note that you can also use lists and stats within a villain section.
