			'''Some Notes on Textboxes'''
			* If there is no actor in a panel, any text is assumed to be narration, and a narration box is created automatically.
			* If there is at least one actor, and no actor specifies a text box, then the first actor will speak the text.
			* If at least one actor specifies a text box (with one of the above styles, or by defining a non-null text box via the panel editor), then the panel will NOT create any text boxes automatically.
			* If two or more actors have text boxes, the text may be split up between them using the \| character.

Actor styles are single words that can be appended to an Actor Specification inside a panel tag. Actor styles generally affect the facial expression and the text box style, and exist to make it fast to put together a panel using the text editor. It's not strictly necessary to use them, since you can achieve the same effect with the [[Panel Editor]].
