: Re: How should dialog be formatted? Is there any "official" rule that I should keep in mind when formatting character dialog? Line breaks, placement of quotes, mixing dialog with action descriptions

The best way to learn who to properly write and format dialog is to read. Go sit at the bookstore and see how everyone does it. There are exceptions to every "rule" and reading a lot of different books will help you learn what works and what doesn't work.

I'd also recommend reading Stephen King's "On Writing" since he covers tips on writing good dialog.
