Nemesis bulletin boards: Documentation bulletin board, note 47

Re: obj/board: changes (Kiri, Jun 16 2017, 62) 
Re: obj/board: changes

Now obj/board makes use of obj/more (sorry, the documentation might be
missing - but refer to it via MORE_OBJ from player.h):
- If a board uses query_extra_long() (see below), also the long() of the
  board is displayed via obj/more. You can skim/page through the overview
  of notes including the description of the board, even if there are many
  notes on it and/or the description of the board is long.
- Now notes on boards are displayed via obj/more, too. Therefore also the
  title lines of the notes can be and are sent to the 'more'.
- As obj/more offers some options - as displaying a hint for help about
  'more' ("More (line 23, type '?' for help):"), obj/board supports these
  options. As some players had problems coping with "mored" texts, some
  boards for players show this brief help. obj/board passes more_opts()
  to obj/more.
Further on Wastl has changed/added:
- Via an own query_max_msgs call in a board the maximum number of notes
  can be limited - default is 20. If the call returns 0, the count of
  notes is unlimited.
- The titles of the notes are now stored in a dynamic array. Conversion
  is done automagically - msg_num set to "-1" afterwards - keep it!

At least since Dec 2016 following changes are active:
- I changed the add_action "read" in order to make also 'read board' (or
  here 'read documentation board') working like 'x board'. Now both works!
  For sure via valid_id()!!
See also:  About 'read <item>' / 'examine <item>' have a look at the complaints
  bulletin board in the sheriff's office ('goto /room/sheriff/office2'
  or https://nemesis.de/lpc/board/4 ) and read my note "Re: Read or Look
  at Signs?? (Kiri, Jun 12 2016, 62)".
- And as obj/board is not for cloning (only for inheritance) every clone
  gives warning into corresponding log files. obj/board has never been
  for cloning - the old comment:
  	* Modified by Lynx, May 15, '91:
  	* This board is not cloneable in itself.
  I wonder how it could work ...

This has been changed before in August 2016:
- New notes will be posted with the full date including the YEAR (Snake
  has done it on April 7th 2015 already)! ;-) We will check existing
  system boards and add "missing years" if possible.
  -->> Please check also your boards! <<--
- Currently max. 50 notes can be posted and
- If there is a function query_extra_long() in the inheriting object that
  returns something, this is used for the long description. If not, the
  function extra_long() is called (as before), which WRITES part of the
  long. query_extra_long was added for etc/www_daemon, so the string can
  be htmlified to create links.

On the agenda we have:
- corrently nothing - we will see ...

Any further ideas? Please contact me!
                                                               Kiri

PS: I removed both old notes referring to "obj/board: changes" about
    previous changes - see above. The first one was dated from August 15th
    2016 and the second from December 27 2016.

This board is to document how to code various stuff in Nemesis.
Within Nemesis it is located in the inner guild in the village.
If you have written documents that should be placed here or
