Ciao Mark, Jan, TonyM & all

Other things I'll comment on by way of demonstration when I got them 
working well enough. I'm slow, but hopefully only be a couple more days. 

Meanwhile, a short comment on *pagination* ... 

Marks S. : I don't understand how pages can be dynamically calculated to be 
> 1min=1page, since a single direction item might take up more than a minute. 
>

I know it looks insane of first look. But it IS a strong convention in 
film-making. "The page" is fundamental to production timing & costing. For 
sure 1 minute rarely equates directly to the one page per minute idealised 
cinematic time. But the number of pages in a screenplay DOES relate to that 
very tightly. IF you submitted a 30 page script for a 90 minute movie (i.e. 
one with longer shots) it would go in the bin post-haste. What the writer 
has to do is adjust to the format. It makes sense in that if you have long 
shots with little dialogue *you have to provide more directorial 
description*. So, in actuality it evens out. 

Mark S.: I would think that the final pagination would best be handled in 
> an application designed for that task. I'm really skeptical of getting 
> browser-based automatic pagination to work. Is there a precedent?


I haven't seen anything that could act as a model. But I do wonder if CSS 
might be able to do it. One of the key things about screenplays is they use 
EXACT layout so maybe a CSS auto-numbering of some kind might be possible?  

Best wishes
Josiah
