[I7-1928] [Mantis 1964] §19.13. Rulebooks producing values: An action based rulebook creation fails

[curiousdannii-testing]

Reported by : FictitiousFrode

Description :

One of the examples in §19.13. Rulebooks producing values states that the following works:

Drum summons rules is an action based rulebook producing nothing.

But the compiler is very confused by the use of "an"; change it to

Drum summons rules is a action based rulebook producing nothing.

and it works.

Steps to reproduce :

Garden is a room.
Drum summons rules is an action based rulebook producing nothing. 

Additional information :

Logging this as an error in the documentation because it's easy to get the code to work, but it might be argued that it's the compiler that's at fault.

Compiler bug. That should work as written.

A compiler bug, not a documentation omission.
