> SUBTOKEN: LANGUAGE (deprecated) SUBTOKEN: LANG (new)
> [edit] Syntax
> CHOOSE:LANG|x|y|y[x]|y[x,x]|x,y,y[x],y[x,x]
> x is a Language PRIMITIVE
> A PRIMITIVE is an identifier of objects, and may include any number of specifications. In the case of Language objects, there are are the three global PRIMITIVES:
> x = an Language (specified by key)
> x = TYPE=w (w is a TYPE identifier for a Language)
> x = !TYPE=w (w is a TYPE identifier for a Language that would be prohibited)
> x = ALL (allow the choice of any Language)
> y is a QUALIFIER
> A QUALIFIER is a special keyword that identifies a subset of objects that should be returned. Valid qualifiers for Language objects are any of the Global Qualifiers.
> A comma represents "AND", meaning multiple items are evaluated independently and then any item that appears in ALL of the items is added to the list.
> CHOOSE:LANG|Common,Goblin
> will result in NO choices because no Language is both Common and Goblin.
> CHOOSE:LANG|TYPE=Foo,PC
> would test for any Language that has the Foo type (as defined in the Language LST file) which is ALSO already selected by the PlayerCharacter
> This could also be written (probably more clearly):
> CHOOSE:LANG|PC[TYPE=Foo]
> A pipe represents "OR", meaning multiple items are evaluated independently and then any item that appears in any of the items is added to the list:
> CHOOSE:LANG|Common|Goblin
> will result in a choice between Language Common and Language Goblin.
> All commas (ANDs) are evaluated before pipes (ORs), so something like:
> CHOOSE:LANG|Common|TYPE=Foo,PC
> would include Common unconditionally, in addition to any Language that has the Foo type (as defined in the Language LST file) which is ALSO already selected by the PlayerCharacter
> [edit] Conversion
> CHOOSE:LANGAUGE|Spoken becomes CHOOSE:LANG|TYPE=Spoken  (also uses AUTO:LANGUAGE|%LIST)
