Behaviour¶

The <alt/> element represents an alternative in an alternative question. The alternative may be a proposition, a resolve goal or a perform goal.

Propositions are used when chosing among propositional answers: "Do you want to go to Paris or to London?". Resolve and perform goals are used when asking the user what they want to do: "Do you want to buy a ticket, or do you want to know if there are any delays?"

Examples¶

An alternative for "Do you want me to calculate the monthly payment?"¶
