fountain-rs

A library for parsing Fountain markup. Fountain is used for screen- or stageplays.

Usage

This repo contains a binary and a library. Use cargo build to build the binary, then run it like so:

$ fountain MY_FOUNTAIN_DOC.fountain

The 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.

Progress

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.
