Template:Dialogue
This template formats quest or NPC dialogue in a presentable manner.
Usage
For the most part, dialogue can be copied and pasted directly from the in-game chat log into this template with no additional formatting:
| Example | Output |
|---|---|
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
Speaker A: Lorem
Speaker B: Ipsum
</nowiki>}}
|
Wrapping the input in a nowiki tag is technically optional, but strongly recommended to avoid issues when special characters and other wiki formatting appear in the input.
In addition, there is special syntax unique to this template for various functions. See the below sections.
Dialogue Options
Use > to denote potential answers to questions. The responses (if present) to each answer will be shown in collapsible boxes that are collapsed by default. Once the entire section with optional responses ends, use --- in its own line to denote the end of the section.
| Example | Output |
|---|---|
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
What will you say?
> Option A
Alphinaud: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
> Option B
Alphinaud: Ut enim ad minim veniam
> Option C (this does not have a unique response)
---
Alphinaud: Duis aute irure dolor
</nowiki>}}
|
Optional Dialogue
Use -optional start in its own line to denote optional dialogue. When the optional dialogue concludes, write -optional end in its own line.
| Example | Output |
