Usage
SYMBOL:DOC
This is the [SYMBOL:DOC] section of the language_SYM.txt raw file. The file defines categories of words, for use with [SELECT_SYMBOL] and [CULL_SYMBOL] arguments in the corresponding entity file to create various pool of words available for procedural generation of game content (for example, Dwarf names). See Language#language_SYM.txt and Entity_token for more details.
Examples
- [SELECT_SYMBOL:DOC]
- [CULL_SYMBOL:DOC]
Accented characters
The language files are saved in code page 437 encoding. The accented characters in the language files look like nonsense when interpreted as ASCII or ISO 8859-1, which are often the default. On Windows, viewing the language file with the Terminal font is an easy way to see it correctly.
