Inform: capitalising indefinitely


Sun, 27 Aug 1995 16:59:02 +0100

With Inform 5.5 I can use the new printing syntax (`print (the) expression',
and so on). This is great and makes reading my source a far more tolerable
experience. But, although I can use `print (the)' and `print (The)' for
lower case and capitalised definite articles I can't have the equivalent for
indefinite articles (ie, `print (a)' works but there is no `print (A)').

So, if I have this object:

#OBJECT yourcar "car"
with name "car",
article "your",
describe [; print_ret (a) self, " is parked here."; ],
has static;

I end up with `your car is parked here.' where I actually want `Your car is
parked here.'

Is there, then, a way to capitalise indefinite articles?
