{{t|Dialogue}} facilitates the writing of dialogue in a standard format. The template can handle most standard formats of writing dialogue, and can be indented, bulleted or numbered. '''This template ''cannot'' be <code>subst:</code>'d'''. |
|||
{{Lua|Module:Dialogue}} |
|||
This template uses the [[Help:Lua|Lua templating language]], and more information can be found [[w:c:dev:Global_Lua_Modules/Dialogue|on the Global Lua Module page]]. '''For a traditional wikitext version of this template, see [[w:c:templates:Template:Dialogue/wikitext|Dialogue on Templates Wiki]]'''. |
|||
{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Dialogue/styles.css}} |
|||
==Syntax== |
|||
This is how to write the template in [[Help:wikitext|wikitext]] onto your article: |
|||
<pre>{{dialogue |
|||
|short=full |
|||
|short=full |
|||
|short=full |
|||
... |
|||
|Character|Speech |
|||
|Character|Speech |
|||
|Character|Speech |
|||
... |
|||
|cite = dialogue description |
|||
}}</pre> |
|||
These parameters are explained more fully below. |
|||
==Parameters== |
|||
'''Named parameters specify name shortcuts. They are all optional.''' They are placed at the top of the template call, like this: |
|||
<pre>{{dialogue |
|||
|short=full |
|||
|short=full |
|||
|short=full |
|||
...</pre> |
|||
Name shortcuts apply to your main dialogue text. If you use a shortcut specified here for a character name, then the full name will be replaced for it. |
|||
Named parameters of the form "<code>mood1</code>", "<code>mood2</code>", "<code>mood3</code>", etc., up to "<code>mood10</code>", specify moods for the corresponding line number (e.g. "<code>mood1</code>" specifies line 1). They are placed in a line like this: |
|||
<pre>... |
|||
|Character|Speech|mood1=angry |
|||
|Character|Speech|mood2=quiet |
|||
|Character|Speech|mood3=ecstatic |
|||
...</pre> |
|||
Positional parameters form the text of the dialogue (i.e. any line not containing an "<code>=</code>" will be construed as part of the dialogue. |
|||
:;<code>Parameter 1</code> ''(required)'' : Character name speaking |
|||
:;<code>Parameter 2</code> ''(optional)'' : Line to speak |
|||
:;<code>Parameter 3</code> ''(optional)'' : Next character |
|||
:;<code>Parameter 4</code> ''(optional)'' : Next line |
|||
:;<code>Parameter 5</code> ''(optional)'' : Next character |
|||
:;<code>Parameter 6</code> ''(optional)'' : Next line |
|||
:;<code>Parameter 7</code> ''(optional)'' : so on... |
|||
Note: if any character is called "<code>action</code>" then that line will be construed as an action line. It still counts as a ''line'' nonetheless. |
|||
To write a dialogue description/source, use <code>cite =</code> |
|||
==Examples== |
|||
Here is an example of a full template usage: |
|||
<pre>{{dialogue |
|||
|harry=Harry Enfield |
|||
|bryan=Bryan Adams |
|||
|harry|Hello! |mood1=happy |
|||
|bryan|Oh hello there |mood2=surprised |
|||
|harry|How are you? |mood3=inquisitive |
|||
|bryan|Quite fine thank you. |mood4=reserved |
|||
|harry|Oh that's spiffing. |mood5=spiffed |
|||
|bryan|It is, isn't it?! |mood6=multo-spiffed |
|||
|harry|Quite so. |mood7=bored |
|||
|bryan|Well, I'm off! |mood8=joyous |
|||
|harry|Ta-ta! |mood9=relieved |
|||
|bryan|Au revoir! |mood10=sarcastic |
|||
}}</pre> |
|||
The above would generate: |
|||
{{dialogue |
|||
|harry=Harry Enfield |
|||
|bryan=Bryan Adams |
|||
|harry|Hello! |mood1=happy |
|||
|bryan|Oh hello there |mood2=surprised |
|||
|harry|How are you? |mood3=inquisitive |
|||
|bryan|Quite fine thank you. |mood4=reserved |
|||
|harry|Oh that's spiffing. |mood5=spiffed |
|||
|bryan|It is, isn't it?! |mood6=multo-spiffed |
|||
|harry|Quite so. |mood7=bored |
|||
|bryan|Well, I'm off! |mood8=joyous |
|||
|harry|Ta-ta! |mood9=relieved |
|||
|bryan|Au revoir! |mood10=sarcastic |
|||
}} |
|||
The below code demonstrates examples of extended use: |
|||
<pre>{{dialogue |
|||
|george=Georgie Boy |
|||
|rachel=Rachel |
|||
|action|Enter: George and Rachel |
|||
|george|Good morrow dearest Rachel!|mood2=happy |
|||
|action|Rachel turns to see him |
|||
|rachel|Oh, George, it's you! |
|||
|george|... |
|||
|rachel|Why won't you say anything?!|mood6=worried |
|||
|action|Enter: Guards |
|||
|Guards|We are announcing George's arrest! |
|||
|rachel|Oh my!|mood9=horrified |
|||
|action|George is dragged away. |
|||
}}</pre> |
|||
The above would generate: |
|||
{{dialogue |
|||
|george=Georgie Boy |
|||
|rachel=Rachel |
|||
|action|Enter: George and Rachel |
|||
|george|Good morrow dearest Rachel!|mood2=happy |
|||
|action|Rachel turns to see him |
|||
|rachel|Oh, George, it's you! |
|||
|george|... |
|||
|rachel|Why won't you say anything?!|mood6=worried |
|||
|action|Enter: Guards |
|||
|Guards|We are announcing George's arrest! |
|||
|rachel|Oh my!|mood9=horrified |
|||
|action|George is dragged away. |
|||
}} |
|||
===Notes=== |
|||
You can number, bullet or indent your dialogue: |
|||
<pre>:{{dialogue|Me|Hello|You|Howdido!}}</pre> |
|||
:{{dialogue|Me|Hello|You|Howdido!}} |
|||
<pre>#{{dialogue|Me|Hello|You|Howdido!}} |
|||
#{{dialogue|Them|Good afternoon|Us|What a load of rubbish!}}</pre> |
|||
#{{dialogue|Me|Hello|You|Howdido!}} |
|||
#{{dialogue|Them|Good afternoon|Us|What a load of rubbish!}} |
|||
<pre>*{{dialogue |
|||
|angel=Fortitude |
|||
|angel|I am an angel!|Crowd|We don't believe you!}} |
|||
*{{dialogue |
|||
|angel=Fortitude |
|||
|angel|But I'm being quite serious!|Crowd|Too bad for you then!}}</pre> |
|||
*{{dialogue |
|||
|angel=Fortitude |
|||
|angel|I am an angel!|Crowd|We don't believe you!}} |
|||
*{{dialogue |
|||
|angel=Fortitude |
|||
|angel|But I'm being quite serious!|Crowd|Too bad for you then!}} |
|||
You will get the odd spacing error (e.g. "Speech<code><nowiki><space></nowiki></code>") if you lay out your dialogue on multiple lines. |
