Template:Dialogue indented

Jump to search
This is a way to replicate the dialogue found in many memos, transcripts, plays, etc.
It can only do 100 lines of dialog. After that you have to start over with a new table.
Example:
This code:
{{dialogue indented
|CREON
|Now answer this plain question, yes or no. Wast thou acquainted with the interdict?
|ANTIGONE
|I knew, all knew; how should I fail to know?
|CREON
|And yet wert bold enough to break the law?
|ANTIGONE
|Yea, for these laws were not ordained of Zeus,
|
|And she who sits enthroned with gods below,
|
|Justice, enacted not these human laws.
|
|Nor did I deem that thou, a mortal man,
|
|Could'st by a breath annul and override
|
|The immutable unwritten laws of Heaven.
}}
