This | {{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'''. | ||
This template uses the [[w: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]]'''. | |||
==Syntax== | |||
This is how to write the template in [[w: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. | |||
