<div class=example>

<p>HTML does not have a good way to mark up graphs, so descriptions
of interactive conversations from games are more difficult to mark
up. This example shows one possible convention using
<code><a href=#the-dl-element>dl</a></code> elements to list the possible responses at each
point in the conversation. Another option to consider is describing
the conversation in the form of a DOT file, and outputting the
result as an SVG image to place in the document. <a href=#refsDOT>[DOT]</a></p>

<pre>&lt;p&gt; Next, you meet a fisherman. You can say one of several greetings:
&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; "Hello there!"
&lt;dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt; He responds with "Hello, how may I help you?"; you can respond with:
&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; "I would like to buy a fish."
&lt;dd&gt; &lt;p&gt; He sells you a fish and the conversation finishes.
&lt;dt&gt; "Can I borrow your boat?"
&lt;dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt; He is surprised and asks "What are you offering in return?".
&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; "Five gold." (if you have enough)
&lt;dt&gt; "Ten gold." (if you have enough)
&lt;dt&gt; "Fifteen gold." (if you have enough)
&lt;dd&gt; &lt;p&gt; He lends you his boat. The conversation ends.
&lt;dt&gt; "A fish." (if you have one)
&lt;dt&gt; "A newspaper." (if you have one)
&lt;dt&gt; "A pebble." (if you have one)
&lt;dd&gt; &lt;p&gt; "No thanks", he replies. Your conversation options
at this point are the same as they were after asking to borrow
his boat, minus any options you've suggested before.
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; "Vote for me in the next election!"
&lt;dd&gt; &lt;p&gt; He turns away. The conversation finishes.
&lt;dt&gt; "Sir, are you aware that your fish are running away?"
&lt;dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt; He looks at you skeptically and says "Fish cannot run, sir".
&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; "You got me!"
&lt;dd&gt; &lt;p&gt; The fisherman sighs and the conversation ends.
&lt;dt&gt; "Only kidding."
&lt;dd&gt; &lt;p&gt; "Good one!" he retorts. Your conversation options at this
point are the same as those following "Hello there!" above.
&lt;dt&gt; "Oh, then what are they doing?"
&lt;dd&gt; &lt;p&gt; He looks at his fish, giving you an opportunity to steal
his boat, which you do. The conversation ends.
&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;/dd&gt;
