Description: About Screenplain
        =================
        
        You're a hacker. The command line is your home. You know tools like grep, sed
        and Git inside out. You have formed a symbiotic relationship with your text
        editor. Those tools are powerful in the right hands. But you're also a
        screenwriter. Screenwriting is much like programming. It's about structure and
        form, and -- obviously -- about reading, writing and modifying huge amounts of
        text. You don't want to use software that lacks the power of your hacking
        tools just because you're writing a screenplay instead of a shell script.
        
        Enter Screenplain.
        
        Screenplain allows you to write a screenplay as a plain text file using
        a format called [Fountain](http://fountain.io). Text files
        are simple and supported by all text manipulation software. It's not just for
        hackers, too. The simplicity of plain text allows you to easily view and edit
        them on devices such as tablets and phones. No need for specific screenwriting
        software.
        
        The magic that Screenplain performs is to take your plain text file and
        convert it to a good looking screenplay in an industry standard format.
        Send that file off to your producer, agent, director or screenwriting
        competition. The supported output formats are FDX  HTML, and PDF.
        
        Screenplain can be used as a command-line application or a library.
        An [Online version of Screenplain](http://www.screenplain.com) is also
        available.
        
        Note that Screenplain is under development and is missing features and
        the master branch may not always work. I'm currently working on supporting
        the whole [Fountain](http://fountain.io) specification. (Fountain
        was previously known as "Screenplay Markdown" or "SPMD.")
        
        Installing
        ==========
        
            pip install screenplain
        
        To enable PDF output, install with the PDF extra (installs ReportLab):
        
            pip install 'screenplain[PDF]'
        
        Credits
        =======
        
        Screenplain was coded by [Martin Vilcans](http://www.librador.com).
        
        The CSS code that formats Screenplain's HTML output as something that
        looks as much as a printed screenplay as is possible in HTML was
        created by [Jonathan Poritsky](http://www.candlerblog.com/).
        
        The [Fountain](http://fountain.io) file format is the result of a
        collaboration between [Stu Maschwitz](http://prolost.com) and
        [John August](http://johnaugust.com/).

        Developing
        ==========
        
        Set up virtual environment:
        
            python3 -m venv .venv
            . .venv/bin/activate
            pip install -r requirements.txt
            pip install -e .
        
        After this, the `screenplain` command will use the working copy of your code.
        
        To run unit tests and style checks, run:
        
            bin/test
