Input

An input direction allows readers to type text which get stored in a tag. It behaves similar to a text direction, text written by an editor is displayed the same and can be styled the same. An option to change the speed in which story text has to appear is absent. Underneath the story text is an input field for the reader to type their answer.

The input direction is usually used to let readers customise parts of the story, which works by inserting tags using the  syntax. When the tag is of type numeric, readers can only put in numbers, with tags of type text, readers can type anything. Instead of customisation the reader input can, for example, also be used for asking a password to a computer.

Suggestions
There is a suggestions menu specific for input, which is related to thoughts in choice directions. Suggestions are inserted into the input field initially and readers can choose a random one. Suggestions give readers the option to not think of an answer themselves, but continue on with the story. Suggestions have to be able to be stored in the tag before becoming a suggestion, you can't suggest  for numeric tags.
