User:42/NornResDialogueTest

 The purpose of this template is to format in a standardized way the dialogue used in the Norn NPC dialogue and make use of the icons used in the game to present the text in a way that matches accurately the format used in the game.
 
 This template will make use of the offer dialog template, so as to make work of use already done.  This template will attempt to pass parameters received by it to the offer dialogue template, so as to maintain consistent alignment within the template.

Steps and layers

template gets i-text, acc-text and dec-text from editor.
iI-text - the text that the NPC uses upon being talked to by the player
acc-texxt - the text displayed on the accept button

all of the above text appears on 2 locations on the finished page text visible as the end result
