"How do I put quotes in links"?

st33d

Currently I can't do this:

[["Hello"]]

I get:

Unexpected identifier 'Hello'. Expected either a closing ']' or a ',' following an array element.

So I can't have anyone talk in a link? I tried using the tildes to escape the "Hello" but it doesn't work and I get the same error.

I need to be able to have speech punctuation in my links or it's not going to make any sense. How do I do it? Can anyone post a working example?

For now, it seems like the only way may be to use the (link-goto:) macro and single quote the string.  For example:


(link-goto: '"Hello"')

Thanks. It doesn't draw arrows but it's enough to allow me to have a conversation going on, which is all I need.

Another way to surround a link with quotes is to place them on the outside of the link, which will result in the Passage Map drawing an arrow.


"[[Hello]]"


One problem with using the (link-goto: '"Hello"') method is that the target passage has to include the double quotes in its Title which is not good idea.

Yes, but that looks inconsistent and doesn't handle things like:

"Greetings", you try.

Which was the sentence I wanted to turn into a link all along. I'll use the following:

(link-goto: '"Greetings", you try.', "Hello")

This is a silly bug which will be cured in the next bugfix release.
