SK Character: Ericos
Where: Northeast of the head trainer in the bastion of light.


Exits:
Code:
> ex
North     - Hallway
South     - Hallway
West      - Inner Courtyard
Southwest - Inner Courtyard

command: Look west

Output:
Code:
> look west
The inner courtyard is a training ground and a place used for tournament
competition.  It is maintained very well and has many challenges for the
aspiring knight as well as a large tournament ground in the southwest
corner.   
A council dragoon is nearby west from here.
A half-elven page and an elven page are not too far off west from here.

Look southwest output:
Code:
> look southwest
You see Inner Courtyard.
A young page, a half-elven page and The head trainer are nearby southwest from here.


Should the description on Look west be coppied on look southwest as well or removed ?

[EDIT] Same for the room below if you use look west, exact same thing happens.

They should both look like southwest. That place is odd!

Typo it in the room. That is by far the easiest way, for both forum-goers and immortals.

I'd call this a typo, but not a bug. Descriptions can be added to a direction, so it should appear like this:

<direction>
<paragraph of text, if supplied by the builder>
<code generates list of NPCs visible in this direction>

From the OP, it would seem like the descriptive paragraph was only added to one of the exits, when it should have been added to more, at least for the sake of consistency.

PS: If I've missed something else that's being reported as incorrect by the OP, let me know. :)

Those fancy directions are in fact extended descriptions.

You can see documentation on them in wertrew's old building best practices post.
