Example HTML Code

To have a dialogue option highlighted permanently, replace the relevant top <span> tag in the ‘.p4r-select’ div with a <b> one instead.

<div class="p4r-box">
  <p>
    <b><u>Chie Satonaka</u><span>:</span></b>
    <span class="text">
      Either that, or you’re a total airhead. But whatever you’ve got going on, I guess it’s working.
    </span>
  </p>
</div>

<div class="p4r-select">
  <p align="center">
    <span>
      <span>[</span>
      <span class="text">Was that a compliment?</span>
      <span>]</span>
    </span>

    <br />
    <span>
      <span>[</span>
      <span class="text">I’ll <i>show</i> you what I’ve got going on.</span>
      <span>]</span>
    </span>

    <br />
    <span>
      <span>[</span>
      <span class="text">Falling for me already, huh?</span>
      <span>]</span>
    </span>
  </p>
</div>

Adding CYOA-Style Links

This code supports having each choice act as a hyperlink to something else, with the ones that aren’t appearing more faded out. To do this, simply replace the requisite <span> tag with <a>, alongside an appropriate link. Unavailable choices should be marked with a <strike> tag instead.

<div class="p4r-select">
  <p align="center">
    <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/46327330">
      <span>[ 1 –</span>
      <span class="text">My Social Link Rank Up display.</span>
      <span>]</span>
    </a>

    <br />
    <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/47179210">
      <span>[ 2 –</span>
      <span class="text">My Save File display.</span>
      <span>]</span>
    </a>

    <br />
    <strike>
      <span>[ 3 –</span>
      <span class="text">Can I get something else?</span>
      <span>]</span>
    </strike>
  </p>
</div>
