-======Plays====== 
- 
-A play is a work of drama, usually consisting mostly of dialogue between characters, along with stage directions, and is intended for theatrical performance rather than just reading. 
- 
-We approach a written play the same way we approach other genres of ebooks. We are reformatting the written version, not creating a dramatization of the play. There are other services that do this for people with print disabilities. 
- 
-For the most part, we approach plays the same way we approach other books. 
- 
-====Character List==== 
- 
-Plays sometimes have Character and/or Cast List. 
- 
-These should be formatted as an unordered list. This goes for any other list types within a play. 
- 
-To learn more see the [[public:nnels:etext:lists#unordered|Unordered List Section]]. 
-====Dialogue==== 
- 
-In a play dialogue is often presented with the Character's name before the dialogue.

-**Vladimir**: I want to know how to format dialogue 
- 
-**Estragon**: It is actually easier to do that you would think! 
-</WRAP> 
- 
- 
-Apply the ''Strong'' style to the Character name, and leave the dialogue in ''Normal'' style. 
- 
-See [[public:nnels:etext:bold-italics-underline-strikethrough#bold|Bold]] for more information 
-====Stage Directions==== 
- 
-The stage directions are normally marked as normal text.

-===Q&A Archive===

- 
-Q: I'm currently working on "Teenage Idol, Travelin' Man" and in the book they will quote scenes from a stage act, see attached image. I would like to check what the most accessible way to format these sections would be. Presently, I am thinking that the text should be formatted similar to a play with the names in strong style and want to confirm whether I can also apply the quote style without reducing accessibility?

- 
-A: You can format it as a quote and play.
