Raise¶

Definition¶

<raise question_type="type" predicate="p">

Defines a question that should be asked. In contrast with findout, the question does not have to be answered. In contrast with bind, the question is explicitly asked.

Attribute	Type	Description
question_type	string	Optional. Defaults to `wh_question`, but can be one of `goal`, `wh_question`, `alt_question`, `yn_question` or `kpq`.
predicate	string	Optional. Required if question_type is `wh_question` or `yn_question`.
allow_answer_from_pcom	string	Optional. Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, this allows TDM to recycle an old answer that the user has previously provided.
