How does AIML now deal with the idea of 'it' ?
On this old page about half way down is this tag :
http://www.alicebot.org/documentation/aiml-reference.html (http://www.alicebot.org/documentation/aiml-reference.html)
The page says it is deprecated. So I was wondering if there was something to replace it ?
I'm thinking you could just do this :
<set name="it">whatever</set>
And then 'get' to recover.
Thanks :)
Squarebear,
I'm thinking about some custom tags. You know how <that> works, well would something similar for <it> be useful do you think ?
For example, continuing with your example :
<category>
<pattern>I FIND IT BORING</pattern>
<it>YOUR JOB</it>
<template>That's too bad. Maybe you should get a new one.</template>
</category>
I thought this might be useful because THAT would just be 'TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT.'
Or do you think <topic> is sufficient/better for some reason ?
I wouldn't bother as you can already do that with conditions.
<category>
<pattern>I FIND IT BORING</pattern>
<template>
<condition name="it">
<li value="YOUR JOB">That's too bad. Maybe you should get a new one.</li>
<li value="SCHOOL">But school helps you to get an education.</li>
<li value="LIFE">Why not get a new hobby to liven things up?</li>
<li value="YOU">You're not exactly a barrel of laughs yourself.</li>
<li>How would you make it more exciting?</li>
</condition>
</template>
