Template:Tfm/dated Character: "Line of dialogue"

Template documentation

This makes it easy to write out lines of dialogue in script format, as you just write:

{{Line|Person1|Line1}}
{{Line|Person2|Line2}}
{{Line|Person3|Line3}}
{{Line|Person4|Line4}}

to generate:

Template:Tfm/dated Person1: "Line1"
Template:Tfm/dated Person2: "Line2"
Template:Tfm/dated Person3: "Line3"
Template:Tfm/dated Person4: "Line4"

This template can be subst:'d, and please leave it that way! A more complicated template is available at {{dialogue}}.

This makes it easy to tackle:

  • Standardisation of script format
  • Quotes in bullet points, as:
    *{{Line|Me|Hello}}{{Line|You|Who, me?}}
    gives:

Me: "Hello"
Template:Tfm/dated You: "Who, me?"

rather than common ugly mistakes like:

  • Me: "Hello"
You: "Who, me?"
