Template:Dialogue indented

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.
}}

Will produce this on the wiki page, when viewed:

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.

(example from Antigone, by Sophocles, at Gutenberg.org, translated by F Storr, transcribed by Widger )
