To direct speech to another user in the same room, use "to USER say TEXT", or "'user TEXT". Like @page, you can direct speech to the last person you directed to or paged with two apostrophes (''). Try talking to yourself with

'No One hello there.

You can also use 'think' or '%' to put something in thought bubbles, just like old Spider-Man comics. Try this:

%Don't worry, nobody can read your mind.

Sometimes it is useful to be able to quote something someone else said, or even paste a line of code from a program, without ambiguity introduced by quotation marks or people thinking you are emoting. To do this, use 'quote' or '|'. Often this is used when trying to explain to new users how to do something on the Cold Dark. As an example:

|"Hello world, I can say things now!
