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 )
