What does this mean? ::
This may be a really dumb question, but I see this given as code in some answers in the forum. Ive looked at the twine FAQ, and I can't find any explanation.
What does it mean if I see :: and I think a passage name following it??
for example -

for example -
::inventory (in a passage titled "inventory")
<<set $_i to 0>><ul><<inventory_>></ul>
::inventory_ (in a passage titled "inventory_")
<<if $_i lt $inventory.length>>\
<li><<print $inventory[$_i]>></li>\
<<set $_i to $_i + 1>><<inventory_>>
<<endif>>

::inventory means "in a passage titled 'inventory'". If you're compiling directly to twee rather than using the Twine application, that's how you designate a passage.
So if I was implementing this code in Twine, I would just enter these pieces of code in 2 separate passages as described
Yes.
When reading a twee file the :: indicates the start of a new passage, the word(s) after the :: is the Title of the passage. The line of text may end with one or more words between a set of open / close [] square brackets, these words indicate the passages' tags.
