This is for the list of bracketed sub-commands triggered by a command, mainly for use in Before and Check rules.

and so on.

Each of those has a [command clarification break] at the end of it. The last in the sequence becomes a full paragraph break if a new room description is printed after it; otherwise it, like the others always do, remains a mere line break.
