 Scenes are referenced by a sanitized version of their names; all non-word characters are removed, and spaces are replaced with hyphens. Names can be truncated to 16 characters; so e.g. "a very long and convoluted scene name" can be referenced as "a-very-long-and-".

 The following page describes some ideas for a scripting language for writing interactive text narratives based on [http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ Markdown]. The script language described here is inspired by [http://www.norfolkwinters.com/ficdown/ Ficdown] and [http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/squiffy/ Squiffy] in addition to ideas and constructs from my own "StoryEngine".
