Is this even possible using the built-in text editor? :\

Currently Dialogue 'raw' text file use 4 space indentation to differentiate between character name, dialogue body, and function calls:

character_name
    "dialogue body goes here"
    func()

Godot can use either tab or spaces for indentation.
To avoid any conflict I think its better to use symbols/characters instead. If the whitespaces are trimmed, this also makes indentation optional.

Maybe its better to determine wether the editor is using spaces or tabs using text_editor/behavior/indent/type

Constructing the variable with a direct string input, within a function in a script, also count the function's indents.

func _ready():
    var dlg = Dialogue.new("""
    foo:
       Hello, World!
     """)

Resulted as:

    foo:
       Hello, World!

Dialogue tags save its start position, remove itself, and its function/behaviour is called in DialogueLabel when the character is drawn/displayed at that position.

         ▼
Hi there!{wait = 0.6} Welcome to...

Pos:     10
         ▼
Hi there! Welcome to...

This works fine, even with lots of tags. The problems comes when theres a variable in the text:

                    21
                    ▼
Hi there, {player}! {wait = 0.6}Welcome to...
Hi there, {player}! Welcome to...

                    ▼
Hi there, John! Welcome to...

                    ▼
Hi there, Christopher! Welcome to...

The position remain unchanged, when its formatted. (Might be worse with BBCode too).

Currently looking for a way to offset these, using their positions and length difference of 'before' and 'after' the text is formatted.

One quick 'fix' is to just format the text before applying the tags.

Right now, the Dialogue resources use filename to identify its locale:

intro.txt
intro.en.txt
intro.ja.txt

But it might not scale well when there's lots of resources. Maybe its better to use CSV files:

Theres FileAccess.get_csv_line(). But I don't know if this is a good approach.

Edit: The CSV file need to be re-imported as Keep File (No import)

BBCode works, but it also messed up the Dialogue tags positioning.

The syntax is cleaner. But theres no built in feature to parse YAML in Godot yet. Still need to do that manually.

Also we don't need #4 with YAML files.
