That's completely fine (I think). I hate typing out << and >> everywhere
-- when authoring, it breaks my concentration and "flow".
My "system" doesn't care what the markup looks like (it can be any
TW-valid-text -- a macro, a transclusion or any combination you can dream
up). My question was to make sure you're okay with seeing regular TW
markup in the editor and have the system output something else entirely
(which, when it is displayed in VIEW mode looks entirely different again).
I guess I didn't phrase the question properly.
Perhaps I should explain my system? I hope you're running Windows...
I use a combination of AutoHotKey (AHK) and TW macros to produce markup. I
find it extraordinarily useful for oft repeated phrases which occur a lot
(when authoring) and should always look the same. So, for example, in TW,
I define a single macro for each main character. <<jack>> and <<jill>>,
for example. Then, in AHK I define another macro which *triggers* the TW
macro reference as output -- I make sure that the AHK macro is as short as
possible, made up of one or two or at most three characters unlikely to
occur "naturally" -- using a hyphen at the start or end can help.
While I can't "see" exactly what it is you're trying to achieve (again, I
don't know screenwriting lingo), I'm now convinced the combination of TW ~
AHK is the way to trigger anything you want to "magically appear" in the
editor with one or two keystrokes.
So, final example, here's my section divider in TW:
\define break() <p><br><hr style="text-align:center;width:100px;"/><br></p>
And here is the AHK macro that triggers it:
:*:brk:: <<break>>
In TW, I type brk and out pops a call to <<break>> which, as you can see
will end up with a P element, a BR element and so on.
Now, just in case I haven't explained my system good enough for you, let me
say it another way...
AHK doesn't care how long or complex its output is. With a suitably
short/obscure key combo, you can output as much TW-wiki syntax as you like,
identically, a thousand times over, with ease.
Any questions? You know where I am :)
