 The AnswerType specifies what type of answers the user can give. There are a number of AnswerTypes built in standard:
 ||type||description||extra parameters||
-||BoolAnswer||this allows yes/no type answers.|| ||
-||NumberAnswer||asks the user for a number. The valid range and step can be specified.||min, max, stepsize: Double||
-||SelectFromListAnswer||user can answer from a given list of answers.||options: List<String>||
-||TextAnswer: User can give a free text answer.|| ||
+||{{{BoolAnswer}}}||this allows yes/no type answers.|| ||

+||{{{SelectFromListAnswer}}}||user can answer from a given list of answers.||options: List<String>||
+||{{{TextAnswer}}}: User can give a free text answer.|| ||
 
 All answer types require a field "parameter" containing the name of the parameter that will be filled with the user's answer.
+
+Note that this does not define exactly HOW the user is going to give the answer. There may be a text prompt, a set of buttons, a touch screen, a web browser, a text to speech/speech to text system at the other end handling the cases. The dialogmanager does not care about the presentation. As long as "something" fills in the parameters as needed.
