From b6bc3ef698709a9d67f77dccbe417061dce95e38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: PatR Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2024 10:44:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] more Guidebook for containers "blue potion" wasn't a very good example for an item in a container; plain "blue" isn't a potion description. Add an extra sentence to make the association between a container's "item count" that's really a stack count and the fact that inventory slots are for stacks rather than for individual items too. Style/usage bit: avoid using "another" twice in the same sentence. Fix a typo in the spelling of "contents". --- doc/Guidebook.mn | 9 ++++++--- doc/Guidebook.tex | 9 ++++++--- 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/Guidebook.mn b/doc/Guidebook.mn index 7f22ab507..a0857023f 100644 --- a/doc/Guidebook.mn +++ b/doc/Guidebook.mn @@ -3079,8 +3079,11 @@ When the contents of a container are known, that container will be described as something like \(lqa sack containing 3 items\(rq.
