Description
A level annotated with this command will print a message each time the player character enters the level - annotations made using this command are visible via the #overview extended command. Annotating a single space will remove the annotation from the current level.
Amnesia can erase annotations from the character's memory.
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
The m#overview command allows editing of annotations on any level.Strategy
Annotation is used to leave helpful messages for later parts of the game, such as messages indicating the presence of co-aligned unicorns, warnings to watch out for nasty monsters (e.g. mind flayer, arch-lich, etc.), floors with vaults, or the location of the entrance to the Wizard's Tower.
