FORMAT

The FORMAT variable is used to hold printing format mask constants which determine several aspects of the game.

Printing Format Mask Constant	What It Does
LIST_F	print itemized lists, not sentences
NORECURSE_F	do not recurse object contents
NOINDENT_F	do not indent listings
DESCFORM_F	alternate room description formatting
GROUPPLURALS_F	list plurals together where possible
NOPARENTHESES_F	ignore printing by ObjectIs (is worn, is light, etc.)

! You set the FORMAT like this:
FORMAT = LIST_F | NORECURSE_F | DESCFORM_F

! To add FORMAT settings to preexisting settings
FORMAT = FORMAT | LIST_F

! To check for a FORMAT mask
if(FORMAT & NORECURSE_F)

! To clear a FORMAT mask
FORMAT = FORMAT & ~LIST_F
