Ciao Jan Just a footnote that the Fountain parser, though good, has concepts behind it that are not fully compliant with the more conservative HOLLYWOOD STANDARD <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hollywood-Standard-2nd-Complete-Authoritative/dp/1932907637/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504186612&sr=8-1&keywords=THE+HOLLYWOOD+STANDARD>.
Because of the way the film industry works its, IMO, better to embrace the "Hollywood standard". You can't really go wrong with that. For example, - Fountain permits complex emphasis (bold, italics, underline)--but most real screenplays still ONLY permit *underline* for emphasis. - Fountain's idea of "Action" is rather crude. Its a kinda of bucket that anything goes into that nothing else deals with. - Their idea of what is a heading / scene / slug is very crude. A slug could be "WATCH ON TABLE" ... their markup could not get that unless you forced it ... - Their Transitions seem all right aligned. Some transitions should be left aligned. - Their numbering of scenes does not make clear that scene numbering should ONLY be done in SHOOTING scripts, and even then not in the way they present it. They blur up "shooting scripts" and basic "speculative screenplays". I think its to do with how Fountain evolved. I think its more complex than it needs to be to enable good markup. Declarative starting markup (what they call "forced") looks like the simplest way to go. BUT Fountain really has helped understand HOW to auto-format screenplays.
