Most of the guide's text appears in this typeface, except where we're using
words which are part of the Inform system (like ``print``, ``Include``,
``VerbLib``) or are extracted from one of our games (like ``bird``,
-``nest``, ``top_of_tree``). Terms in **bold type** are included in the

-placeholder: for example you should read the Inform statement:
+``nest``, ``top_of_tree``).
