Ciao Mark S. & Jan

*Just, another, "bits-n-pieces" note.*

Fountain markup is oriented to WHOLE SCRIPTS. It has NO CONCEPT of what *WE* 
do, which is to be able to be able to work "from FRAGMENTS to WHOLES".

Some of the things that be-devil Fountain *we* can probably solve, 
eventually (after sweat), much better. 

*Like WHAT IS A PAGE? *

Fountain hard-codes pages as its only method. *That is unworkable* until 
you have finished writing your script (unless you are an expert at counting 
57 lines BEFORE rendering---i.e. figure out how everything will 
wrap--impossible). 

But PAGE NUMBERS are very important in movie scripts (because 1 page = 1 
minute of film). They need to be DYNAMICALLY calculated whilst WRITING so 
you know WHAT timing you have. 

Once the script is finished they need to be STATICALLY FIXED.

Best wishes
Josiah
