An Item Lister is a lister used for listing physical items. Notice that most of the specifics of the listers defined below are language-specific, and so are defined in the language-specific part of the library (e.g. in english.t).
Modified in english.t[3106]:
Modifications to the ItemLister (the base class for listers that list physical objects) for the English-language part of the library.

Properties
The property on a Thing-derived container to test whether its contents should be listed when listing with this lister
Flag, so we want to list contents of contents when using this lister; by default we do.
Flag: do we want to show additional information such as '(providing light)' after the names of items listed in inventory. By default we do.
Flag: do we want to show {by the whatever) if after items that have notionally being moved to the vicinity of whatever.
Flag: do we want to show the contents of items listed in inventory (in parentheses after the name, e.g. a bag (in which is a blue ball)). By default we do if the actor is the player character.
Flag: do we want to show (being worn) after items in an inventory list that the player character is wearing. By default we do if we're showing additional info.
Methods
The listName is the aName of o plus any status-specific information we might want to appear in the listing, such as '(providing light)'
show (lst, parent, paraBrk, =, true)OVERRIDDEN | lister.t[122] |
Show a list of objects. 'lst' is the list of objects to show; 'parent' parameter is the object whose contents are being listed, 'paraBrk' defines whether or not we want a paragraph break after the list.
For an item lister we use the listName method of the lister rather than the aName property of the object to provide a name for the object; this allows the lister to add status-specific information like '(providing light)' or '(being worn)' to the name as it appears in the list.
