Code:
usr << "[world.log]"


Problem description:

Im trying to find a way to access the world.log from in-game. Store it as a string or a list or whatever it needs to be, and then read it as an output in-game.

Is there a way to actually do this? Just trying to pull the world.log var doesn't seem to work. It just gives me a blank output.

I want my staff in-game to be able to, if they need to, view runtime errors and some of my various world.log debugging outputs.

Per the reference, you can set world.log to output to a file, then read that file later:

world/New()
    src.log = file("log.txt")

mob/verb/Test()
    world.log << "Test."
    // Force a runtime error to demonstrate that it will be logged to log.txt.
    var x = "hello"
    x:name = "test"


mob/verb/PrintLog()
    src << file2text("log.txt")
