BodgeMaster be488063cd Style: change the CSS classes for all kinds of quotes to be tagged with "quote" first 
Yes, this is boring code stuff. You may ignore this.

BodgeMaster 0d7114b970 style: Change span.paper_green to span.paper.green 2023-10-13 18:42:58 +02:00
BodgeMaster 340fde4235 style: Ass <span class="snon-speech"> and make <span class="thought"> red in preparation for its removal 
I went a bit overboard with literal thought quotes and it didn't even fit
all my use cases so I decided to replace it with an alternative that better
fits what I want to use it for.

TODO: Change the solid triangle on <span class="speech"> for the open ones
currently used for <span class="non-speech"> and find a new symbol to use
for non-speech.

BodgeMaster 9f65f9c793 05 Eventful Evening: language improvements, fix of a critical logic error 
Originally, I had the idea that any knowledge of the outside world is
forbidden knowledge but I have since decided (and written with the
assumption) that people generally know of the outside world but regard it
as completely uninhabitable.

The printer comes to life and starts printing. Jack gets up and walks
over to it. The printer prints. And it prints some more. The paper
reaches the floor. Jack picks up the end and holds it, folding the pages
along the perforated lines as they reach his hands. Finally, the printer
stops to print. Jack turns the wheel on the side of the printer, manually
advancing the feed mechanism, until he reaches the end of the page. Then,
he tears it off and takes the small stack of paper back to the terminal
desk. Trying his luck with the lamp again, he flips the switch multiple
times until it stays on.

repeats his idea to supply water by train in exchange for crops.<br />

the water here?</span><br />

<span class="speech">I see where you&apos;re trying to go with this.
