Implement conversations

Open rbeezer opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Some textbooks like to have a dialogue between teacher and student, much like a script or screenplay, with named participants. An example is here: https://gttp.info/q08e9fb0n.html which is a draft and could expire/move. "Getting to the Point, Daniel Goroff and Nat Kuhn"

Some overall elment, conversation, dialogue? Structured by speaker, participant`, etc?

I recall a discrete math textbook now in PreTeXt that has something like this? Maybe Keller and Trotter?

I've seen this too. Idea: Should this (since there is already the poetry and music stuff for the arts) be implemented as part of something extending PTX capabilities to scripts, and then allowed in the appropriate containers for the "pedagogical" version to be allowed in addition to (say) Acts or Scenes?

implemented as part of something extending

Yes, I'd like to do something general enough that it could be seamlessly extended this way. But I have almost no practical experience, so we'd want to find some help from somebody who does.

Thanks for adding this to the issue!
