PMario Right. The Fountain parser was strongly inspired by Markdown, but is actually much more minimalist.
The approach is only suited to *highly structured documents* where the "human readable" format is already "its own markup". The only time in Fountain you use explicit markup is *when a rule is broken* . I could image extension of the approach to "Legal" documents that have a similar strict human readable format.
