Build Talking Apps for Alexa: incorrect symbol for 'ask dialog' commands (chap 2; semi-automated testing)

As displayed in epub version of book, the special commands are shown incorrectly in the paragraph text (the transcripts are correct):

When you’re done, use the special “!record” command. You’ll be prompted to supply a filename for the recorded interaction. Here’s the same ask dialog session as before, using the “!record” command to save …

The correct prefix character is “.” (period), not “!” (bang).

Good catch! The bang prefix was from a former version of the ASK CLI. But as you’ve noted, the period prefix is what is used in the ASK CLI since version 2.

I’ve corrected this in the manuscript and expect the fix to be in the next cut of the book.

Where Next?
