#AL mt {clan 5 tell %-1}
#AL mt {clan 5 tell }
#AL mt {clan 5 tell "%-1"}

I use the alias to speak to clan number 5. I have similar aliases for all clans I am a part of. If I want to say something with quotes in it, though - they get stripped.

For example... I enter
mt some words here "quoted part" end of sentence.
and I want to see this returned:

(clanname): You say, "Some words here "quoted part" end of sentence."

but what I see is:
(clanname): You say, "Some words here quoted part end of sentence."
which makes for a confusing sentence.

How can I make it send exactly what I type in?

#AL mt {clan 5 tell %literal(%-1)}

When I try to do this as nexela suggests.. the problem lies in when I try to use commas in anything I say.

%-1 appears to reference only the parameters after the alias, yet before the first comma.

so..
mt hi, how are you?
sends:
clan 5 tell hi
to the mud.

How can I get around this?

Set your Script Parser preferences to disable Strip " quotes
#AL mt {clan 5 tell}
