Template:OBSE Format Specifiers

EX Formatting Functions

These formatting specifiers will work with OBSE output functions, along with the usual functions.

%r

Prints a return, ending the current line and starting at the next.

%n

Prints the name of the specified reference or object.

%i

Prints the formID of the specified reference or object.

%k

Prints the name of the key for the specified DirectInput scancode, such as those used for IsKeyPressed2.

%c

Prints the specified component of the specified reference or object. Takes two arguments - the reference, and an index. Behaves differently depending on the passed reference:

• Magic Item: Prints the nth Magic Effect
• Faction: Prints the nth male rank title

Added as of v0014a

%p

Displays a pronoun based on the gender of the object parameter:

• %po - objective (he, she, it)
• %pp - possessive (his, her, its)
• %ps - subjective (him, her, it)

%q

Prints a double quote character.

%(...%)

Conditionally omits a portion of the format string based on a boolean value. The left bracket accepts a variable; if the value of the variable is zero, all text up to the right bracket will be ignored, and any parameters supplied to format specifiers within the omitted substring will be skipped.
