Some strings have markers in them. We use these to programmatically add information to strings while the game is running. They are an asterisk followed by a single letter (e.g. *X). These markers must be kept as an asterisk followed by the given letter, but can be placed anywhere in the string. | |||
- For example, *X might be the number of fuel containers on your ship, or it might be a monetary value. If it is not clear, please ask for more context. | |||
- There are some markers that are special: | |||
S*X - a star system (e.g. NG11). | |||
$*X - an amount of money. The game uses the format_currency key to format it accordingly. | |||
L*X - the name of a star ship (e.g. PROCYON). | |||
R*X -the name of an object type in game (e.g. Fuel, Crew, Docking Port). | |||
## Escaped characters, e.g. \n | |||
- Some strings contain newline markers (written as \n) which should be left in appropriate places. They are used to start a new line and/or paragraphs. | |||
