Likewise, the colon is automatically added to each name, so you shouldn't type it. I hope my explanation's not too confused.

That's also why I'd rather not use the tabbing environment, littering my document with special characters at beginning, middle and end of every question or answer.

The thing is, I don't know how to do it without having to use a whole lot of markup. That way names and statements would appear clearly separated. I want the names to appear below each other, aligned as in a table row, then a little whitespace, an then the row of statements flush left to a common, imagined, vertical line. Then I insert an empty line and begin to write down the next name and statement. After the tab I write down the person's statement. Typing all the text is not a problem but how can I tell LaTeX to align it similar to an interview in a magazine?Īt the moment each line begins with the name of the interviewer/interviewee, followed by a colon and a tab. And as simple as it may seem, I cannot find a workable solution for me: I am to transcribe an interview (a testimony recorded by the Shoah Foundation), and I want the result to look nice. Nevertheless, now I am faced with a minor problem. Because of my affiliation with the Humanities I have never needed the more sophisticated features of LaTeX. In the course of my studies I've made quite some use of LaTeX for term papers and the like, always relying on the grand default options of the package. I'm a German student of English, and new in this forum.
