A library for parsing Fountain markup. Fountain is used for screen- or stageplays.
This repo contains a binary and a library. Use cargo build to build the binary, then run it like so:
$ fountain MY_FOUNTAIN_DOC.fountainThe binary will output HTML to stdout. You can redirect that to a file (to open in a browser) or to a PDF-creating program. My current workflow is to write the output to a file, open the file in Chrome, then print the page into a PDF. There's probably some nifty CLI util that can read HTML from stdin and output a PDF. If you can suggest one, I'll put it here.
Eventually I would like fountain-rs to be fully compliant with the Fountain spec. Only a subset of the spec has currently been implemented. So far these Fountain elements are implemented:
- Action
- Character
- Dialogue
- Scene
- Parenthetical
- Title page
This project's goal is to replace Amazon's recently-deprecated Storywriter as an easy way to write Fountain docs in a browser. Features will get added when I need them for my own personal use. If fountain-rs doesn't support your particular use-case, please open an issue.
