Oh my goodness yes, I'm loving WALL! Excellent writing!! And yay, I'm so glad I could help a bit with my little ol' template💗

Hello again! First off thank you so much for the kind words <3 I do have what I hope is a simple question though: how exactly do I use the toggle-able dialogue tags? I can see the section of the javascript that defines them but I'm not immediately clear on how to apply the labels to choices in a way that the settings toggle will pick up on.

Hi Charlie! No worries at all, this is a fun one. I actually touched on it in passage 3 of the template (where I talk about the live update macro). Basically, any choice you want to include a dialog tag on needs to go inside of a live block. The code would look like this:

<<liveblock>>
*<<link "Choice with flirt label $flirt_label" "4">><</link>>
*<<link "Choice with info label $info_label" "4">><</link>>
<</liveblock>>

I'm not sure how to get the dialog tags to work with the [[ ]] brackets, so I've always used the <<link>> format. Hope this helps!

Edit: it looks like the thread is making the code text funky. There shouldn't be any line breaks in the code:)

ohhh I must have just not realized that's what I was looking at, but thank you! If they behave the same as the bracket links it shouldn't be an issue to just switch between them, that'll just make it easier to pick them out if I need to go back for edits LOL
