Is there a how-to guide for creating Dialogue?

Slingerbult started a tutorial thread ten years ago where dialogues have been discussed thoroughly, and Pim_gd made one of his own as a continuation/organizer. I do recommend checking them both:

The Comprehensive Dialogue Guide

What's This? This is a guide for writing your own SDT dialogues. Custom dialogues come in very different levels of complexity, from a few simple lines of spoken text to complex hypnotic adventures, from interactive eroge mini-games to fully automated hentai scenes. Your imagination is the only...

Pim_gd's Advanced Dialogue Guide (v1.01 - updated 10 December 2013)

This is kinda still a work in progress. Red words are things I need to change/test/update/delete. Additionally, I'm wondering what I should write for Tips & Tricks with Loader Dialogues - you have all the building blocks already, so do you guys need help illustrating how you'd do something...

Thanks for the mention S Sam_U_R_aI

I'll just add that there is more in my bundle than just the Syntax Coloration file. You'll find also testing dialogues made to test line types and triggers, a dialogue template, etc... So help yourself, it's a bit old but should still be useful
