I made a brief game using Ron Newcomb's "Output Filtering" extension (which allows one to directly manipulate the game's output before it gets printed to the screen, and does a bit of its own grammar/linespacing-tidying). It works fine in Zoom and Spatterlight, but when I tried playing it via Parchment, all the line breaks show up as asterisks, like so:

Compiling to glulx and playing it with Quixe works fine as well. (

So it seems that the problem is somewhere in the interaction between the output filtering and Parchment -- possibly the extension is replacing line breaks with a different character that Parchment doesn't recognize? Is there anything I can do about it?
