Re: Re: [lojban-beginners] Reuse request



No, there's no need. The fact of the text being in separate panels is enough. In panels where a single person is saying multiple sentences, they are separated with {.i}.

If a person said {coi}, and then 3 seconds later said {mi do nelci}, would you think they were talking to themselves about something you like?

I think we should. I always envisaged lojban comics dialags to be a continous stream of text for each character speaking.

One might think that there's an implicit {.i} at the begininng of a new balloon but this would break some dialogue that uses multiple balloons for a single utterance (for example to show a different point of view in a new panel).

I once experimented with using ":" as an alternative ortography for {.i} (just imagine the initial dot and the small dot over the "i" to be re-arranged in space) but it doesn't seem to have caught on. There's an example here: http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=751 .
