fountain-rs

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

Usage

This library parses Fountain markup and can render it into print-friendly HTML. From there, some other program can print it or convert it into a PDF. We use Nom 5 for parsing.

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 metadata (e.g. Title and Author fields) are implemented, as well as these Fountain elements:

• Action
• Character
• Dialogue
• Scene
• Parenthetical

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.
