  Once you have defined your rules, you have to assemble them into a dialog. Each dialog involves somebody who triggers it, somebody who answers, and has a unique name so it cannot be confused with other dialogs.
  
  Typically, the "one who triggers" will be the player, and the "one who answers" is an NPC the player was taking to. You are free to chose whatever you want for the dialog name, as long as it contains no space or special characters, and is not used by another dialog. You can then add the rules you created to the dialog. Rules are parsed in a given order, so you must add the most generic answer last.

  ==== A simple example ====
  
  I want to create a dialog for an old man. If I say "hello" or "hi" for the first time, grandpa will greet me. If I say it for the second time, he'll grumble (because he's like that, you know :)). I also need a generic answer if I say whatever else.
  
- In this example, the player is stored in 'player', and the old man in 'grandpa'. What the player said is in 'message'.
+ To illustrate the setup and use of this plugin, a previously inanimate NPC in Goths Tavern will be modified.  The order of the following steps is not important, but they will take you through every step required to get an NPC that uses the plugin.
+ 
+   * Edit the map file in scorn/taverns/goths as follows.
