@descformat

command: @descformat <object> [=<format>]

normally, the description of an object is controlled by the content and formatting found in the describe attribute. with the wod_realms package enabled, describe can be substituted in favor of other attributes.

however, in all cases, @descformat provides one final pass over the appearance of an object. the evaluated description text is passed as %0, and the attribute name where this text can be found is passed as %1. the unevaluated description can be acquired using v(%1).

this is useful to achieve a consistent 'look' using room parents.
