00053 /// \n
00054 /// This is a simple dialog library.  Originally it was intended to be a thin
00055 /// layer on top of other open-source dialog libraries, but I couldn't find any
00056 /// that worked, especially given the dynamic nature of this library.
00057 /// 
00058 /// This interface allows for basic data-driven dialogs with the user.  Think of
00059 /// this as a mini web browser.  The caller of these APIs provides an HTML-like
00060 /// description of the dialog, and the end user can interact with it.
00061 ///
00062 /// The goal is that server-side code can send dialog requests (very similar to
00063 /// HTML forms!) to the client, the client can render the dialog (form) in any
00064 /// way they'd like, and then the user choice is returned back to the server.
00065 ///
00066 /// The dialog language is intended to be rich enough to give rules plugin
00067 /// writers some control over layout and feel of the dialog (for instance,
00068 /// conversation with NPCs or purchasing from a shop), but keeps enough display
00069 /// up to the client so it can handle constraints such as viewport real estate,
00070 /// etc.
