It can actually get pretty messy, see [[Descriptor#D0|D#0]] for more details. | | ||

| + | ===== Variations ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some types of tags support variations if a pipe is used. For example, L#8 just refers to 'Classroom'. But for stories where multiple classrooms are needed, they can be designated with L#8|1, L#8|2, etc. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Descriptor tags also use these, both to store multiple descriptors of the same type (ie: multiple hobbies), but also with another (second) pipe that can change their form to allow them to be used in different parts of speech. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Example** | ||
| + | |||
| + | When talking about their own hobbies, an actor can say so in multiple ways. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * A#5: Oh, yeah, my hobbies include //cooking//, //writing books//, and //video games//. | ||
| + | * A#5: On my days off I like to //cook//, //write books//, or //play video games//. | ||
| + | * A#5: What can you find me doing on my days off? Either //cooking//, //writing a book//, or //playing video games//. | ||
| + | * A#5: But to be honest, //video games are// great and all, but I'd rather be //writing a book// over //slogging through a game//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | These different forms can be referenced using the second pipe. Assume D#12 is 'Hobby'. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * A#5: Oh, yeah, my hobbies include [A#0|D#12|1|1], [A#0|D#12|2|1], and [A#0|D#12|3|1] | ||
| + | * A#5: On my days off I like to [A#0|D#12|1|2], [A#0|D#12|2|2], or [A#0|D#12|3|2]. | ||
| + | * A#5: What can you find me doing on my days off? Either [A#0|D#12|1|3], [A#0|D#12|2|3], or [A#0|D#12|3|3]. | ||
| + | * A#5: But to be honest, [A#0|D#12|3|**4**] great and all, but I'd rather be [A#0|D#12|2|**5**] over [A#0|D#12|3|**6**]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Take note in the last example that variation 4 includes the 'are'. Also note the flavor of describing 'playing a game'. Had the first hobby (cooking) been used for comparison instead of video games, the result would be: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * A#5: But to be honest, //cooking is// great and all, but I'd rather be //writing a book// over //slaving over a hot stove//. | ||
