Hi Josiah, Hi Mario.
I also came to the conclusion that it is not necessary have a compatibility with the fountain-markup. For me the most important thing is that ideas developped in TW can grow to a screenplay without having to migrate the texts to another program. In some aspects the fountain syntax won't make sense at all in TW. For Example, the title of the scene could simply be the title of the Tiddler (or an alias). One problem I see in the normal TW-parsing that the elements have either to be opened and closed (like italic or bold) or that they have to be preceded by a blank line (like headings and lists). This is why I put up the question whether it would be possible to modify the parsing of lists to work without a preceding blank line. I could not find how this could be done in $:/core/modules/parsers/wikiparser/rules/list.js <http://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fmodules%2Fparsers%2Fwikiparser%2Frules%2Flist.js>
@Mario: Do you think it would be possible to achieve this?
If this was possible I would create stylesheets to use the existing elements (like lists) to achieve the screenplay-layout.

Yours Jan

Not really. TW-markup is different to fountain markup. Mixing things, IMO would be confusing. ... A new parser would probably be easier in the long run.

    The UNDERLYING ISSUE is whether a "deep level" Javascript parser
    /(and likely a new "content type")/


As above. imo easier to deal with in the long run.

    PMario opined it wasn't possible without JavaScript coding.


I didn't say it's not possible. ... But I don't see it. ... For me a new parser would be much simpler to understand and implement. ... There are js libraries already: https://github.com/mattdaly/Fountain.js It should be simple to implement it, similar to the markdown stuff. ... BUT that's not the whole truth.

The magic, that's really needed, is a "sketchbook", where you write down your ideas about scenes, characters, .... and then combine the stuff to a story. ... The text parsers are just a means to an end.

have fun!
