Welcome!

Welcome to the HTML version of the Text Adventure Development System (TADS) 2 documentation.

Please read the copyright and licence file for important information concerning the copyright of this documentation and the absence of any warranty.

You’ll probably want to download these pages to your local machine if you find yourself using them a lot. There’s a complete zip archive here. Note that the manual now uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for formatting. If you don’t like the way this displays on your computer simply delete the file named tads.css and the manual should look as it always did.

Note that this manual covers only TADS 2 - it does not cover any of T3, the next generation TADS environment.

NOTE ALSO THAT THIS IS A BETA OF THE REVISED VERSION 2.5.5B MANUAL. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY PROBLEMS.
